Theatre of the Survivor
First Episode Out Now!
Workie Ticket Theatre has received funding from Sunderland City Council's Test, Learn and Grow Fund to deliver a new project: Theatre of the Survivor.
This is all about using participatory theatre to explore healthy relationships, respect, and equality – working with young people and survivors to co-create an audio play and podcast series.
The funding enables us to test and develop new creative approaches that support prevention, amplify lived experience, and leave a lasting community resource.
Theatre of the Survivor builds on international learning from JoJo Kirtley’s Churchill Fellowship, bringing global feminist theatre practice back into our local work in Sunderland to strengthen survivor-led, preventative approaches.
JoJo was interviewed about Theatre of the Survivor on BBC Radio!
An amazing article was written about Theatre of the Survivor.

The C Project
Cake, Conversation and Cancer
The C Project is a creative community project using theatre, conversation and lived experience to explore women’s experiences of cancer, diagnosis, treatment and healthcare.
The C Project is a wide programme of workshops, performances and conversations with communities, cancer support organisations and healthcare professionals.
At the heart of the project is The C Card, an original monologue by JoJo Kirtley.
The C Project isn't just about cancer awareness. It's about creating spaces where people can talk, feel heard, share what gets in the way of accessing support, and help shape the conversations that happen around healthcare.
The project will continue to grow through 2026–27, bringing together community voices, creative practice and healthcare professionals, with a final event planned for May 2027.
