Sound Board
Part chat show, part game, part live performance - Sound Board has been made especially for young people and their community. Packed with quick-fire debates, playful challenges, and surprising moments of honesty, it’s a show shaped by you in real-time.
One moment, you’re playing a game. Next, you could be reflecting, cheering, or celebrating what makes you unique under a shower of confetti. Put on your headphones, listen in, and see where it takes you.
No two Sound Board shows are the same, but each is full of big ideas, bold opinions, and unexpected moments that unfold around you. No scripts, no barriers, no filters - just the energy of right now.
Hosted by professional performers and local young people, this is your space to talk, discover, and connect. Dream big, make some noise, or let things go.
However you show up, Sound Board makes sure your voice is heard.
