Coronation Street actress Cherylee Houston is leading a drama project for young people with disabilities in Manchester.
Cherylee, who plays Izzy Armstrong in Corrie, is aiming to set up a disabled youth theatre group for youngsters to ensure that drama is accessible to all and help youngsters with disabilities to fulfil their potential.
The pioneering actress and a group of like-minded artists are launching the group at the Royal Exchange Theatre in answer to government cuts which they are concerned have left many disabled people feeling like ‘prisoners in their own homes’.
