Saturday 12th March sees a new show of folk songs come to the Cygnet Theatre in Exeter, celebrating women from history.
The show is being curated by three of the team from Wren Music – Amy Wilson, Sarah Owen and Marilyn Tucker (pictured), and has already recruited a chorus of 30 women who are sure to make the evening extra special.
Although the arts organisation already runs five community choirs across the county, they spotted an opportunity to bring together a women-only singing group specifically to celebrate women’s history for international women’s day.
An extraordinary musical event is shaping up for a Westcountry Choir when they sing at the opening night of a world premiere Theatre show TINY HEROES at Exeter’s BikeShed Theatre next week.
Local folk choir Voices In Common have been invited to sing the opening three nights of a newly written theatre piece by award winning playwright Daniel Bye.
Daniel Bye who was last at The Bike Shed theatre with the phenomenal Going Viral, has been developing the world premiere of his new show Tiny Heroes, on our Devon Residency programme.

Johnny Leota, Nev Edwards and Mike Haley all crossed for tries during the opening 40 minutes for Steve Diamond’s side – and fly-half Danny Cipriani did the rest of the damage as he slotted a conversion and...
