The Chiltern Centre at the Kenton Theatre!

Here at the Chiltern Centre, we believe that disability doesn’t define you, and anything is possible. Now in our 20th year supporting young adults with disabilities, we were proud to present our debut theatre performance with the support of The Kenton Theatre. A show like no other, directed and created by the young adults themselves, this production was a wonderful showcase of creativity, diversity and inclusion. The whole evening was enjoyed by all who attended.

the Kenton Theatre have teamed up with local charity, The Chiltern Centre to enable young adults with disabilities the opportunity to practice the performing arts on stage, culminating in a live performance for family and friends on Sunday (17 September).

The Buddies Group performed Bahdoon: Different and isolated, Bahdoon the lion cub faces a world that shuns him for his uniqueness. Branded an outsider by his village, Bahdoon is banished to a lonely jungle. There, he grows into a formidable lion, mastering the art of survival. But when a fearsome dragon threatens his old village, Bahdoon must confront his past and find the strength to protect those who once rejected him. A tale of bravery, acceptance, and redemption, ‘Bahdoon: The Lion’s Triumph’ is a heartwarming story that reminds us that our differences can be our greatest strengths

Lottie Pheasant, Kenton Theatre Manager said, “I am thrilled to welcome The Chiltern Centre to The Kenton for its debut theatre performance. Assisting a local charity in this way is exactly what The Kenton Theatre Community Fund is all about and The Chiltern Centre is a very worthy recipient of our first grant.”
