Pull up a seat and listen to stories on streets of resort
A GROUP of people in Scarborough are planning to bring stories to the streets this summer.
They are preparing to tell their unique, funny and sometimes heartbreaking stories in the resort as part of a new project to bring community theatre to the high street.

Stories has been conceived by Sophie DruryBradey and Rach Drew, who together lead ARCADE, a community producing company based in Scarborough and Bridlington.
Local people have been working with a creative team, led by singer, musician and composer Rebecca Denniff, to create short performances where they can tell their own story of life in Scarborough and how the town and people have impacted upon them.
“We’ve had over a 100 people take part in our story workshops over the last year support from many local organisations including Sidewalk Youth Project, Gallows Close and Scarborough Library,” said a spokesman.
The streets of Scarborough will become a stage and a showcases for real stories from the community, told by the people who have lived them. The event will take place between Thursday July 7 and Saturday July 9.
