Gizmo
The DIY Theatre Company was established in September 2003 by Pat
Fisher who is a nationally acknowledged playwright and is also a
qualified Youth Worker. Since setting up in 2003 Gizmo has been
involved in many activities and the first production was a play
specially written by Pat for the National Holocaust Memorial Day
and was shown at St Mary in the Castle, for which the project received
a Mayoral Award. The
second award was presented this year (2006) for outstanding contributions
to the community.
Gizmo provides art form
workshops in Castle Ward and Central St Leonards to children and
young people aged 5 - 19 years, leading to participation in community
events, educational trips and exhibitions of creative work.
