Members of the Nesbitt Centre took their creative programme up to another level. For the last two years performances ranging from Dance, Drama, Music and Poetry were staged at the Fringe Theatre.

This has enabled each service user to choose his or her own particular creative medium and then to have the opportunity of performing at a public arena. In terms of personal achievement it has given service users the confidence and a sense of pride to participate in such a venture.

It has also meant that service users have developed a discipline in preparing a performance that has required concentration and determination.

The Nesbitt Centre’s annual fringe performance brings you a combination of drama, poetry-reading, dance and music based around a short play.

This year’s play is based Roald Dahl’s short story, “The Umbrella Man"

The Umbrella man is a comical story involving a mother and her child and a strange gentleman. The mother and her daughter are caught in the rain, when the gentleman offers his umbrella for a small cost. The mother becomes suspicious, but is convinced by her daughter to buy the umbrella off the strange man.
