It feels like only yesterday we introduced the Q theatre team and now most of us are saying goodbye, leaving Adis and our in-coming Theatre Manager to carry on the Q theatre legacy.
We are so proud of the work we have achieved in just over a year and a half as a team. A heartfelt thankyou to all the artists, teachers, facilitators and audiences who were part of our journey. Kate and Bree will continue to teach their studio Q classes and Shy and Rowan are sure to be floating around the building sometime soon.
We will never really leave.
You can follow us on socials to see what our next journey might be,
