More information
Cardboard Citizens was conceived in 1991, and since 1994 has been a company limited by guarantee with charitable status. For the first few years of its existence it toured devised Forum Theatre pieces to hostels and day centres, in London and throughout the country, sometimes producing two tours a year. From the very beginning, the vast majority of its performers have been drawn from homeless people, and by 1998 these performers were paid a wage in parity with the ITC/Equity contract. Everyone benefits from high expectations, whatever their background. The company believes that participants, volunteers and staff are all capable of high achievement, and sets the bar accordingly.
