Youth theatre in Colburn
THE Georgian Theatre Royal in Richmond is expanding its highly successful Youth Theatre and introducing new classes at Colburn Leisure Centre.
Starting in September, the sessions will be held on Saturday mornings during term time and are open to 7 to 18-year-olds who will receive expert tuition in all areas of theatre and stagecraft, including directing, acting, back-stage work and technical theatre.
Participants will also have the unique opportunity to perform on the stage of The Georgian Theatre Royal – the oldest working theatre in Britain in its original form - and take part in productions ranging from classical drama to comedy and musicals.
The Theatre’s Chief Executive, Warnock Kerr, said: “Our Youth Theatre is a thriving and vibrant community of young people who are interested in performing arts. It is extremely rewarding to see them develop skills and confidence throughout their time with us and many go on to study all aspects of theatre at drama schools or universities.”
Anyone interested in getting involved should contact the Theatre on 0174-882-3710 or email: admin@georgiantheatreroyal.co.uk. Details can also be found on the Georgian Theatre Royal website www.georgiantheatreroyal.co.uk
