The show opened brilliantly at The Academy Theatre, Birdwell and the Lamproom Theatre, Barnsley in July 09, prior to its main tour in Spring 2010.
Our audiences passionately exclaimed about In The Frame, 'It was inspirational to see what these individuals can achieve. I take my hat off to the organizers and people who take the time to give something back for them to feel proud of themselves. It was a brilliant performance' and 'This lovely performance was a joy to watch' |

and 'In The Frame was the most creatively led piece of work I've seen by Cross The Sky. It was beautifully performed and the mix of vocal work, live performance and projection work a treat. I sincerely hope that the show is seen by a lot more people, in a lot more venues and that all involved get the recognition they deserve. Breathtaking and emotive.' In The Frame is based on a series of pictures devised from the group's imagination; this performance is a collage of memory and emotions, combining short films with original music and live performance work to create a visual and audio feast not to be missed.
Look out for more details of the coming performances of this original and visually exciting show and put yourself In The Frame. Further tour dates and venues to be announced shortly.
