about
our
YOUTH AND CHILDREN'S THEATRE:
Our children's theatre (for children aged 8-14) meets every Saturday in term-time, and teaches a vast array of stage skills, from movement and projection, to singing and dancing, through a variety of improvisations, games and other activities.
Our youth group
(for teenagers aged 13-18) meets every Thursday evening in term-time and
continues to build on the lessons learnt at the children's theatre. They
are encouraged to express themselves through drama, dance and song, and
learn important skills for anyone interested in the performing arts.
The children's theatre was first formed in 1948, and has continued to
be a vital part of BTC ever since. The children have the opportunity to
perform in two full productions each year, timed to coincide with the
May and October half terms, and auditions are open to Children's Theatre
and Youth Group attendees, as well as new faces.
Both groups are free to attend for children of members, although capacity
is limited, and waiting lists to join can be long (depending on the time
of the year). If you, or a member of your family would like to join one
of these groups, please contact Louise
Garraway. Please note that a huge amount of (voluntary) work
goes into running the children's and youth groups, and it is hoped that
parents of children involved will support the theatre by attending as
many shows and social functions as possible, as well as helping out backstage,
with costumes or chaperoning duties as necessary.
