BCP Council's Official PodcastShow Notes
The creative arts endured more than a fair share of strife during the pandemic, so to see The Black Cherry Theatre Cafe emerging stronger is an incredibly inspiring sight.
Rachel Maddix and Jon Davis have created a hub which serves not only local audience members, but catalyses national opportunities for creatives in the BCP region.
We hear from Rachel and Jon on episode 5 of our mini-series, and hear how they’ve used grant funding to grow a unique theatre community in the heart of Boscombe and beyond.
This episode covers:
How The Black Cherry works closely with other creative organisations for collective benefit to the community
Their assistance to local creatives as a physical hub throughout the pandemic and beyond
Access to art for both audience members and those aspiring to enter performing arts
Work with the National Theatre to become their writing hub for the South
