The Misfits Theatre Company UK

What We Do The ‘Misfits’ is a unique award-winning Bristol-based theatre and social group, led by our Members, who are People with Learning Disabilities (PWLD). We evolved from a drama group at a local day centre formed in 2000 to an established Charitable Incorporated Organisation in 2016. Our mission is to improve the life opportunities and aspirations of PWLD and to challenge their discrimination in society.   We work directly with 60 Misfits Members (PWLD) every week through our creative programme, including poetry, drama, wellbeing, and dance workshops. Members organise and join in social activities, like our monthly social nightclubs ‘Rhythm of the Night’. We deliver performances and training events for professionals in private and voluntary sectors, of which half are medical students and people who work directly with PWLD in Bristol.
