I don’t hang out on the old Twit box a lot these days since it X’d itself but just sharing some good news for us at @maisonfoo ! It’s been a bit of a cliff edge year but rather grateful we can now make plans and do some exciting stuff next year….. and breathe…for a bit!🙏
📣📣📣There was a point we never thought we’d say this out loud again but after 3 resubmits & nearly a year of asking (drumroll please) we’ve secured @ace_midlands funds for our Sanctuary work 🙌to Arts Council and National Lottery Players for supporting the next year’s work 🙏

Sad sad news to wake up to this morning. 😢Today we are thinking about all the people who have come to seek safety in the UK and how this may effect their lives and mental health inc possibly some of our group members 😢 #TheatreCompanyOfSanctuary #RefugeesWelcome #NotInOurName
Last night marked a truly dark moment in British history. In defiance of international law and the Supreme Court, Government passed the #RwandaBill to dehumanise and violently deport sanctuary seekers to an unsafe place. We will still #FightTheAntiRefugeeLaws 🧡✊

Proud moment that my 1st baby @maisonfoo is 15 yrs old! Not an easy task to find the motivation/determination year on year to keep on keeping on, but the highs still outweigh the lows 🤪. Thanks to all who’ve supported us, cheerled for us & propped us up over the years🙏#Foois15
We can’t quite believe we are nearing the end of our 15th year of Foo Magic!!!! 🥳 We want to take this moment to say a massive THANK YOU to EACH & EVERY ONE OF YOU who have been part of our Foo story ❤️ 1/a few! ….

Sad sad news 💔. Stephen & Karen took me under their wing early career, cast me in shows, gave me my 1st Assistant Dir job & the opp to direct the YT. Supported me to get my 1st grant from Arts Council & supported me making my 1st own show which is where @maisonfoo began 🙏
We are saddened to hear about the passing of Stephen Edwards (former Creative Producer and Co-Artistic Director of Derby Playhouse). Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this very sad time.
