Harleston Players Youth Theatre Company
This is Harleston Players Youth Theatre Company's third year and they
have just performed Romeo and Juliet. Their audiences were treated to
an extremely inventive and entertaining evening. The Youth Theatre has
recently gained funding from the Local Network Fund for Children, enabling
us to continue the project for a further year.
The next set of sessions will start at the end of February and run until May.
If you are between the ages of 13 and 18 and would like to become involved
(or you know someone who is), please let me know. There is no charge for
the sessions. However, we do need some extra adult help, particularly with
administering the child protection policy. This role does not involve a huge
amount of time but is essentialif we are to see this young theatre company
thrive.
If you would like to help, and would enjoy the chance to be involved with
this vibrant group of young people, please get in touch.

Romeo and Juliet - October 2006
The Youth Group's next production was based upon Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
Meryl, the Director, picked out the key points of the text, which the youngsters dramatised in their own words - modern text, using a variation of techniques to convey the plot.
The process focused on their ideas of how to improvise each of the storylines within the play.
