Ordinary Man
Shed@ThePark’s performance of Ordinary Man was truly spectacular and touched, moved and inspired all the cast and audience alike. The cast produced an extremely professional performance that used multi-media to interact with the live performance.The show, with an original script and score, ran for a week and was a real testament to the creative talents of the young people who we work with at Shed@ThePark. Due to the positive reviews and feedback we are hoping that the story of Ordinary Man does not end here.
The cast of 90 young people took the audience on a colourful adventure that followed the life of Victor - a man whom believed himself to be merely a ‘plain, ordinary man’ uninspired and working for the notorious Mr G. Reed Corporation.
With the daily grind hanging persistently over him and the ever increasing material world darkening his skies, Victor forgets to see the colour in his world. It is only after his destiny calls him that he meets the mystical bohemians, their divine Queen Maya, vibrant creatures from under the sea, an energetic circus and the insightful book elves.
With their support Victor realises his potential to transform his own life and leads a revolution against the greed and devastation that has been inflicted on his community.
“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed.” - Gandhi

Fantastic start to Autumn Term
The new term began with a
barbeque to celebrate Shed’s third birthday and what a fantastic
evening it was!
Over 100 people enjoyed tasty burgers, provided by Waitrose - Chesham, and the Artistic Team had the opportunity to show a snippet of ‘Anything is possible’ (we have a stock of DVDs available to purchase for £10 – excellent Christmas pressies for rellies!).

The Pepper Foundation
During July Shed was delighted to be
able to take part in the renowned Pepper Concert in Berkhamsted. The
Youth Theatre performed an extremely professional one-hour set filled
with classics including California Dreaming, Seasons of Love and of
course our song ‘Anything is Possible’.
The performance really captured
the talent and magic of all our young people and we received fantastic
feedback from the audience. The Pepper Foundation is a charity, which
exists to alleviate suffering by funding home care to seriously ill
children within our local community.
Shed@ThePark felt honoured to be able to support the charity and we are looking forward to performing at Pepper next year!
