Background Information
In 2022 The Play’s The Thing Theatre Company launched their first Creative Youth Board alongside their Taking The Stage Festival hosted by MK Gallery. Envisaged as a youth-led programme, involving regular board meetings and mentorship from professional practitioners, the programme has supported over fifty young people aged 16-21 to develop skills in writing, acting, design, directing and film making.
Having now presented their first three productions – Three (2022) a piece of street theatre performed in Margaret Powell Square; a series of fifteen short monologues (2023); and Not A Game For Girls (2024) it is time to reflect upon the past three years.
