Q: Do you have to be homeless to attend Cardboard Citizens’ workshops?
A: Our workshops are free and open to everyone who is currently homeless or at risk of becoming so, or has experienced homelessness. However Cardboard Citizens believes in integrating people from all backgrounds, and everyone who wishes to take part is welcome to do so provided they are over 18, and so long as it is approved by the workshop leader, to avoid disrupting the dynamics and support of the participants within the group.

Q: I am homeless / ex-homeless and I would like to join your theatre company, what are the possibilities?
A: The company offers regular opportunities for workshop participants to showcase their work in public performances: if you join one of our core workshops you will be able to take part in one of those. Experienced workshop participants are regularly invited to audition for paid work in our Hostel Tour and professional theatre productions.
