Making Theatre Participant Success Stories
Case Study 1) Participant A
Participant A was referred by the Littlehampton Job Centre. She had a number of health issues and had very poor self-esteem. Her progress was good and she worked hard, especially during the tour. In group discussion she revealed how depressed she was at being out of work and that her life seemed meaningless.
The other participants encouraged her to join support groups and she was much more relaxed by the end of the course. Participant A has now been offered paid care work.
Case Study 2) Participant B
Participant B was a very bright and creative individual who suffered a major breakdown some months ago and had related health problems.
He was a little reluctant to engage to start with but became more relaxed and enjoyed the group discussion. At the end of the programme he was called for an interview at a specialist warehousing company and seemed much more positive about his future.
Case Study 3) Participant C
Participant C was a young man who had a bad experience when he lost his apprenticeship and became depressed. He was an excellent worker and really enjoyed the theatre work.
Having been committed to electrical work, he decided to apply to join a full-time technical theatre course at Chichester College. He has also secured a full-time job at Butlins which he hopes to continue until he starts his course in September.
