Join The Flames
Get InvolvedAre you over 50 and have a story to tell?
Tricky Hat Productions is welcoming people aged over 50 to join their performance company The Flames, to create a show that challenges pre-conceived ideas of how older people think and what they aspire to.
We welcome people from all walks of life. There is no acting, and you do not need to memorise a script. You just need to be yourself, interact with everyone involved and be up for a possibility!
Participation is free.
Supported by Creative Scotland.
