In 2003, Jillian Barker, Head of Education at the Barbican Centre, London, approached Ben Haggarty, Artistic Director of the Crick Crack Club, with a proposal to programme regular performance storytelling at the Barbican Centre. Since 2003 the Crick Crack Club has worked in partnership with Barbican Education to programme 9 events a year in the Barbican Pit Theatre, for adult audiences. These events are programmed during the three school half terms each year, with usually three evening events per half term. The performances of storytelling are occasionally preceded by pre-show talks. The Pit Theatre is an award winning black box theatre, which seats approximately 180 people (depending on the seating configuration).
