This weekend, anti-immigration protests are planned in Newcastle. Live Theatre stands firmly against these divisive and hateful actions. As a new writing theatre, our purpose is to celebrate voices and stories from all of our communities. We believe theatre should be a space of welcome, empathy and solidarity — never exclusion. We are in the process of becoming a Theatre of Sanctuary, and we stand with our city’s immigrant, asylum experienced and refugee communities. You are welcome here. Your voices matter. Your stories belong on our stages. Hate has no home in Newcastle. Love, creativity and community do. #refugeeswelcome #togetherwithrefugees #asylumseekerswelcome
