A rural theatre company has announced it has set up a youth theatre—the first in its history.
Shropshire-based Pentabus is offering a weekly term-time class for young people interested in acting. There will be an opportunity to perform in productions.
Pentabus artistic director Elle While said, “youth theatre is the reason that I have a career in theatre and I couldn’t be more passionate about the potential that high-quality youth theatre provision can have on the prospects for young people and the broader community.”
Head of engagement Joanna Freeman added, “as Shropshire's only producing theatre company, we’re proud to champion young talent in the region and create original work that reflects the voices and visions of our community."
No experience is necessary for the sessions which will take place at Ludlow Assembly Rooms on Wednesdays from 10 September. Further details are available at the Pentabus web site.
