StreetZ is an original musical by NWTAC that takes a raw and authentic look at the everyday lives of families on the streets of modern-day Manchester. Set in a close-knit community, the musical weaves together stories of triumphs and failures, exploring the complex challenges faced by ordinary people in an ever-changing urban landscape.
​
At the heart of the story are Sam and Ollie, two teenagers whose lives are turned upside down when they find themselves dealing with an unplanned pregnancy. As they navigate the uncertainty of their future, they must face the pressures of young parenthood, strained relationships, and difficult choices. Their journey reflects the harsh realities and emotional struggles that many teens encounter, but it also highlights their resilience and determination to find their own path forward.
​
Surrounding Sam and Ollie are the stories of other families grappling with their own issues—financial hardship, addiction, broken dreams, and moments of hope. With powerful musical numbers, StreetZ delves into the highs and lows of urban life, capturing the spirit of a city and the people who call it home.
