Crosslinks Show 2026

The Crosslinks project, a partnership between Youth Initiatives and Diverse Youth NI, saw over 55 young people engaging in weekly good relations arts workshops over 6 months to write and produce their original theatre and art exhibition.

This year their theatre performance, ‘Murder Mystery: Dead Serious’, followed a group of unlikely guests who discovered that embracing their diverse backgrounds empowered them to work together to solve the murder of Mr Alfredo Sorrentino. They performed a lively Scooby-Doo–style haunted house performance where comedy and suspense intertwined, ghosts appeared as musicians, dancers, and eerie staff, and the mystery culminated in the surprising reveal of a singing, dancing maid as the cunning murderer.

This showcase of art, dance, music and drama was performed in Stranmillis Theatre on 22nd March to over 400 family, friends and funders.
