UPSTAGE Centre Youth Theatre will mount a Shakespeare play in two weeks this summer under the direction of Mel Cook, former assistant director at the Royal Shakespeare Company.
“If you are between eight and 25 years old, this is your chance to spend a fortnight rehearsing either A Midsummer Night’s Dream or Macbeth – we are yet to decide – and then perform it to a live audience at the end of the second week,” says marketing and press officer Morven Hamilton.
“You’ll learn new skills, make new friends, hopefully build your confidence in performing and have lots of fun. We’re based at the Upstage Centre at 41 Monkgate, and we’d love you to come along.”
The play project will run from July 25 to August 5 with sessions every weekday from 9am to 4pm, culminating in a 7pm performance on the last day. The fee is £120 per participant, with a 50 per cent hardship discount available. You can sign up by filling out the registration form on the Upstage website, upstagecentre.org.uk and emailing it to info@upstagecentre.org.uk
