Chickenshed
Chickenshed (also known as Chicken Shed or the Chicken Shed Theatre Company) is a British theatre company based in Cockfosters, London. It was founded in 1974 in a disused chicken shed by Mary Ward and Jo Collins. The company produces theatrical and musical productions, performed by children, teenagers and adults of all backgrounds and abilities. As well as its London base, the company also has several other theatre workshops (known as "sheds") across and beyond The British Isles as part of its "Outreach" project.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.chickenshed.org.uk/outreach/set_up_a_shed )〕 It is registered as a charity under the name The Chickenshed Theatre Trust. In 1996, company founder Mary Ward was awarded the MBE for Services to the Arts followed in 1999, with a Creative Britons Award, to acknowledge her 25 years of work with the theatre, while co-founder Jo Collins was awarded the MBE in the 2001 New Year's honours, for Services to Music. Chickenshed has performed at a number of public events, including Queen Elizabeth II's golden jubilee celebrations in 2002. A show to commemorate 100 years of J. M. Barrie's children's story ''Peter Pan'' was staged by the theatre company at the Albery Theatre, London in 2004, in order to raise funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital.
==Music==
The first musical writers for Chicken Shed were Jo Collins and Anthony Filby, who together formed Colby music, through which they published a collection of musicals that Chicken Shed performed. The music team has since greatly expanded.
In December 1997, Chicken Shed released a single, entitled "I Am In Love With The World", performed by children from the theatre. At bookmaker's odds of 4/1, the song was one of the contenders to become the UK Christmas number-one single. However it reached only #15 in the chart, remaining in the Top 75 for six weeks. The song was included on ''Diana Princess of Wales Tribute'', a charity album recorded following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. Diana had been the royal patron of the theatre along with Dame Judi Dench who is also a great supporter and it was one of her favourite charities.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.chickenshed.org.uk/about/history )〕
Late 2003 saw the release of ''The Chicken Shed Album'', a compilation that marked the 30th anniversary of the theatre company. Contributors to the album included supporters of the organisation, such as Cliff Richard, Emma Bunton, Bob Hoskins and Kenneth Branagh, as well as three tracks by Chicken Shed itself. Jo Collins & Chickenshed recorded a song, "Talk Through Me" for the 2007 show tunes album ''Over the Rainbow'', in aid of (The Association of Children's Hospices ).
