We're very proud that Magicalogical has been asked to be part of the Made in Wigan Minis project.
We'll be teaching our young people vital skills alongside Wigan Warriors Wigan and Leigh Community Charity Media Cubs Vince Cleghorne Leisuretec UK and Pianos, Pies & Pirouettes.
With support from Alison Mckenzie-Folan's team Wigan Council and their 'The Deal' initiative.
We're also very grateful for the ringing endorsement we received from Sir Ian McKellen when we shared with him our vision.
We're inviting ALL creatives from around the Wigan & Leigh Borough to get in touch and find out how they can get involved.
It's our ambition to become one combined network using our skills in the Arts and Performance to continue the incredible work done over the years by many individuals and groups such as Richard Ashcroft Brian Cannon Starsailor, The Old Courts artists Al and Al of the The Fire Within Wigan Ian Livesey Ian McLoughlin Scott Chapman Bd2 Studios, and young digital entrepreneurs like Ryan Connor and Joe Mitchinson of Voxy Media House.
There are many more that deserve mention and we hope to work with every one of you to help young people to see a clear pathway to work in the Creative Industries.
We have a small number of places available THIS SATURDAY morning at the Theatre for Performing Arts Parson's Walk Campus where we will be sharing more about our vision. With an excerpt from being performed by Jenna Sian O'Hara Brandon Mccaffrey, Stephanie Maloney, Lewis Sayyadzad and John Siswick, directed by Martin Green.

Thank you, Sir Ian. We hope to see you at a future performance.
