THE Salvation Army Greenock is using theatre to shine a light on addiction and recovery.
Marking Recovery Month, individuals supported by the charity took to the stage in a play titled Behind Closed Curtains, performed on Thursday, September 24.
The production, held at The Salvation Army’s Regent Street community hub, aimed to challenge stigma and show that recovery is possible.
Set in a working-class tenement, the play featured residents portrayed by individuals who use The Salvation Army’s services.
Lesley McLeister of The Salvation Army said: "The play gives us an opportunity to have an honest conversation about addiction and how behind every statistic is a person, a family, and a story.
"Everyone who has been involved in the drama group has made amazing progress in one way or another."
The production reflects The Salvation Army’s wider work in Greenock, which spans church activities, a charity shop, and a floating support service for adults.
Lesley added: "Through integrated mission, bringing our various types of support together, The Salvation Army offers an environment where people feel valued, supported, and able to take positive steps forward in their recovery journey."
