Top Theatre Talent Takes on Texas

Cowboy boots at the ready, our drama dons are headed to Texas.

Texas better be ready for Exeter’s theatre talent as they cross the pond with the aim of improving local communities.

“Perfectly Mixed Up” is a theatre company of MA Drama students and young “care leavers”, recently graduated from Exeter’s care scheme.

The trip is part of a wider initiative to encourage kids in care to engage with the local community. It provides a stable environment for them to prove their commitment to their art – and now it’s going global. Funding has been provided by a whole host of benefactors, from the Devon County Council to anonymous American philanthropists.

As part of an exchange program with the University of Texas at Austin, they will perform their show More Than The Sum and run two workshops with local young people in care.

The seven-strong theatre group fly out on March 25. Here’s hoping they return on horseback, but without the stupid accent.
