WHAT'S NEW?

Light UpBetween Autumn 2024 and Spring 2025 our Youth Theatre groups are working on Light Up: a project exploring light, imagination, creativity and joy!
We've challenged our youth theatre to explore the ways in which light illuminates the beauty in the world around us, influences our mood and perspective and in the absence of light, what mystery and magic may exist. In early 2025 we'll be holding 2 exciting events in Ashington and Tyne Valley, showcasing our Youth Theatre's performances. |

Check out the full collection of short films and music videos, filled with bold, thought-provoking lyrics, catchy tunes, and creative soundscapes! |
