FAQ
WHERE DO WE MEET ?
We currently meet on Mondays at Tesco Community Room in Wigan from 6pm until 9pm (this may increase in regularity close to a performance). We will also be having meetings/rehearsals at The Old Courts Art Centre in Wigan.Details of this to follow.
HOW MUCH IS IT ?
Nothing, our group is free for everyone to attend. Wigan Autistic Theatre Company believes theatre should be inclusive and accessible to all.
WHAT IS YOUR AGE RANGE ?
We are strictly a 18+ group.
After careful consideration, it has been decided that Wigan Autistic Theatre Company is unable to welcome any new actors at the current time. The group has expanded beyond what was ever expected and we are now have enough people in acting roles. However, we will be operating a waiting list, so please do still get in touch if you are interested.
Due to the expansion of the group we are now looking for more members to work behind the scenes. This includes roles such as set design, costume design, stage management & administration of the theatre group. If you are passionate about inclusion & all things theatre related & you feel that you could offer some support, then please get in touch.

DO YOU OFFER SUPPORT ?
With us being a voluntary organisation we support members within the group with theatrical activities while they attend sessions. But if anyone has one to one support outside of the group, we ask that you bring support staff or personal assistants to the sessions.
DO YOU OFFER WORK EXPERIENCE ?
Unfortunately due to being a voluntary group that only meets once a week, we don't offer work placement. If you want to get involved please get in touch. We do offer a chance for university students who are doing case studies about theatre and autism etc that is relevent to the organisation. If you are such a student and are interested please get in touch.
