Women & Theatre – Make, Do & Mend

Make, Do & Mend is an inspiring new show from Women & Theatre, for all generations to enjoy

People from across Birmingham told us their stories and passed on words of wisdom about how to…

• Make ends meet
• Strengthen relationships
• Eat well
• Get the most out of life

Could we make more, do more, mend more… and spend less? Have you got a good idea? A top tip?

Come along and pass it on. Women & Theatre invite you to come and enjoy a great new show!

There are also opportunities to perform as part of the project.

If you are interested, please contact Pippa Frith on 0121 449 7117 or email: pippafrith@womenandtheatre.co.uk
