Mushroom Theatre Company

Mushroom Theatre Company Based in Rayleigh, Mushroom Theatre Company provide a wide range of dance, drama and singing classes for all ages and abilities.

The Mushroom Theatre Company was set up in 2004 in Rayleigh, Essex. The intention of the group is to promote the benefits of the performing arts, alongside the aim of creating a fully inclusive Theatre Company for the community. We integrate children with special needs with able-bodied children in all our classes and performances. We believe that this approach is beneficial for not just children with disabilities, but also for the able bodied children, whom we feel are helped by breaking down their ignorance and possible fear towards disabilities. MTC offers an environment away from the stresses of everyday life, and we believe that the performing arts have many social and therapeutic benefits, yet are often disregarded. All are welcome to attend our classes- regardless of gender, race, sexuality or ability. We offer specialist classes for individuals with Special Needs on Saturday mornings, however none of our classes are restricted due to ability, and therefore our company provides an excellent opportunity for the development of social interaction. Our emphases are on the development of self-esteem and teamwork, and as a result believe that our work is very beneficial to individuals with disabilities and for young adults.

Because performing arts aren't about everyone doing things the same way — they're about giving everyone the opportunity to shine in their own way. ✨
