So, Maddy from Pier-ing Back has teamed up with her wonderful friend Aria, from Southend Arts Cast.
Using their collaborative skills they've been very busy little lockdown bees preparing for Southend Arts Cast: Live!, a FREE, online Zoom event on Thursday 3rd November 2020, at 6pm. The event is a panel discussion, Q&A and showcase of the thriving theatre and visual artists of Southend (and the surrounding areas).
