Who are we? GUSH Theatre are an emerging theatre company based in Birmingham. Our debut show GUSH! is an interactive, cabaret-inspired, feminist show devised by our small artistic team. As a company, we are about championing underrepresented voices and creating work that is fun and inviting.
What is Theatre Mix? It’s a cross-artform performance night featuring the work (and work-in-progress) of local creatives.
