Brighton Emporium Theatre supports newcomers

Emporium Theatre in London Road, Brighton, will be supporting three recipients of The Pebble Trust Awards at this year’s Brighton Fringe, which will run from May 6-June 5.

The productions Did I Choose These Shoes? by Ella Gajic, Abelia Saxophone Quartet and Josh Glavin: Growing Pains will all run at various dates to be confirmed in May.

The Pebble Trust is a Brighton and Hove charity established to provide support to local people and causes.

Louise Arnell, trustee at The Pebble Trust, said: “We are absolutely delighted that the award-winning Emporium Theatre will play host to all three events this May. Like The Pebble Trust, the team at Emporium Theatre is committed to supporting young artists at the beginning of their careers. Josh, Hannah and Ella will benefit hugely, not only from the theatre’s wonderful facilities, but also from the encouragement and advice they will receive from the Emporium team as they prepare their events.”

“We are very excited to be able to offer full venue support and guidance about putting on a show at the Fringe from day one throughout the whole process, which can often seem quite daunting,” comments Emporium director James Weisz. “Emporium Theatre was voted Best Venue at last year’s Brighton Festival so we have plenty of experience.”
