Community Projects

Every two years we create a large scale community project that hands over the theatre to a community and gives it a voice. It is active, current and brave. It engages people from hard to reach areas in a profound and often life-changing way.

Community Project 2013

Soho Spring

A unique one-off community event at Soho Theatre – London’s most vibrant venue for new theatre, comedy and cabaret.

The Soho Team has been working closely with five groups from across Westminster who will take over the whole theatre for one glorious Spring celebration.

Soho Spring is a heart-warming, head-spinning look at what the arrival of Spring means to different people across the city as they come together to tell stories, sing songs, and make theatre and comedy.

“This project is one of the best things I have ever done and I think everyone involved had a unique and wonderful experience. I think everyone has the ability to contribute creatively to the world and it takes projects like this to allow those who wouldn’t usually experiment with their creative side to do so with courage.”
