WHAT IS SHERMAN 5?
Sherman 5 is all about breaking down barriers.
It’s about making Sherman Theatre as open and accessible as possible.
Sherman 5 is here to help people to overcome any barriers that are stopping them from coming to our theatre.
Individuals and community groups can apply to join Sherman 5 and become Sherman 5 members. Membership is free.
We want to make it easier for people to come to see shows.
We also want to give Sherman 5 members the chance to get involved in the life and work of Sherman Theatre in many other ways.

Paul Hamlyn Foundation generously funded the first phase of Sherman 5 from 2013 to 2018; this first phase ended in the summer of 2018 with a celebration called Sherman 5 Stories.
We are delighted that Paul Hamlyn Foundation has now awarded Sherman Theatre a More and Better grant to continue and develop Sherman 5 for four more years: from 2019 to 2022. (See the press release here).
