Sammy the Shoemaker's Impossible Day

Coventry University Scarborough group’s acting students had chance to tread the boards at the resort’s Stephen Joseph Theatre.

As part of the university’s collaboration with the theatre, third year actors on the BA Hons Acting Degree rehearsed for four weeks for Sammy the Shoemaker’s Impossible Day.

Written and directed by Cheryl Govan, it was signed in basic Makaton throughout by the company.

CU Scarborough has developed strong ties with the theatre and the opportunity to take part in the Christmas show gave students the chance to work closely with stage professionals, providing vital industry experience.
