We are very proud to announce we have been shortlisted as a finalist for the Smiley Charity Film Awards with our short film 'Free To Be Me'. Funded by The Essex County Council Art and Cultural Fund, The OutHouse collaborated with Mercury Theatre to create ‘Free to Be Me’ where members from our Youth Project spoke about the support and encouragement they’ve received in finding their voice and to simply feel free. The power to exist openly and freely cannot be overstated. Please watch Free To Be Me here: https://lnkd.in/e4U4Qg_b

We love our Industry Day visits! Thank you so much for joining us and sharing this.
?? Another week & more insight visits ?? Yesterday myself and one of our lovely Careers Officers Sophie headed over to the Mercury Theatre with a group of our amazing students.

I personally loved hearing about how the team are ensuring the theatre is both as sustainable and accessible as possible ???? Many thanks to Lisa Warnock for planning the visit with us. To Elodie Gilbert for showing us around on the day. To Forest Morgan for facilitating a great workshop. And everyone else at the Mercury who got involved ????
