Misfits to perform for shoppers

Thursday 19th April 2012

Shoppers will be treated to a performance of George And The Dragon in the run up to St George's Day.

Actors with learning disabilities from The Misfits Theatre will be performing at The Galleries shopping centre in Bristol on April 21 at 11.30am, 12.15pm and 1pm.

It is hoped that the performance will get shoppers in the mood for St George's Day, which is on April 23.

Bernice Gollop, Lady Mayoress of Bristol, said: "Everyone should see this great show. Very original and funny. An excellent performance by true professionals."

Misfits is a theatre and social group led by people with learning difficulties. It aims to enable people with learning difficulties to be creative, have fun and reach their potential through participation, performance, volunteering and employment.

The group offers creative and arts activities for people with learning difficulties twice a week as well as organising tea dances and discos.
