A production called Stories in Motion production brought together singing, dancing, acting, musical theatre, drama and sing-and-sign performances, giving members the chance to demonstrate the skills and confidence they have developed through their work at Thrive CIC Hindley.
Sophie Van-Hawarden, operations manager at Thrive CIC, said the production at Hindley Community, Sports and Social Club had been several months in the making.
She said: “Stories in Motion is an incredible piece that has been put together over the past few months with singing, dancing, acting, musical theatre, some beautiful pieces of drama, and some sing-and-sign.
“It’s been a fantastic piece of work that all the members of Thrive who are here today, and some that are not, have got involved in, and we are really excited to debut this wonderful show.”
