# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The District by Cross the Sky Theatre Company
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 29 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: Set in a tower block community, in a dystopian future, a ruling authority has declared all music a threat to society. Unbowed, the residents of The District come together, to rediscover music and to make a change for good that will resonate far beyond their lone tower block.

The District is a love letter to music. The production will highlight the particular importance of music in the creative lives of learning disabled and Autistic people and is inspired by the collective experience of the Covid-19 lockdown and life in a post-pandemic world.

The District's book is written by Becky Newbould, Simon Grainger and Cross The Sky, with original music and lyrics by Simon Grainger, with an exclusive contribution from Torquil Campbell of Canadian indie rock band Stars.

Like previous Cross the Sky productions, this work is informed by the lived experiences of Cross the Sky’s performers.

This premiere performance of The District is part of ArtWorks Together, an international festival, offering adult artists who have a learning disability, are autistic or both, the opportunity to showcase their talents to the entire world, gaining the recognition they deserve.
