National Theatre Connections 500 – Friday 11th & Saturday 12th February at The Arena Theatre & Saturday 7th May at Derby Theatre
The National Theatre in London hold an annual festival for young people – entitled Connections. In 2016 the Festival celebrates its 21st anniversary, so the National have decided to make it their biggest event ever with 500 youth organisations taking part! We will be performing a play called ‘What are they like?’ by Lucinda Coxon at the Arena Theatre in March and at Derby Theatre in May.
On the Matter of Stuff
Is your life full of too much stuff? Do you find yourself buying more and more things on the weekend that you simply don’t need? On the Matter of Stuff is a script that has been especially written for us by professional writer Peter Roberts and is based on the book Stuffocation by James Wallman. It’s all about how we need to learn to be less materialistic. This performance will involve a whole range of theatre genres and techniques. We will be staging the show in Wolverhampton in March or April.
A Cause for Celebration
In July 2015 we were approached by East Park Residential Home who had heard about the huge success of our WW1 Film After Dawn. They asked us to run a reminiscence project with their elderly residents and as such we carried out reminiscene sessions with the residents and our young people. Current member Katie Rooney used the interviews to write a script entitled ‘A Cause for Celebration’ which will be performed at East Park Court on Saturday 27th February. Tickets are free but spaces are limited, so please contact us ASAP to reserve your place!
The Wonderful World of Roald Dahl
On Wednesday 25th & Thursday 26th May our junior members will stage three Roald Dahl classics at the Newhampton Arts Centre, including Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Charlie & the Great Glass Elevator and The Twits. Tickets can be purchased through the Newhampton Arts Centre Box Office – 01902 572090
