Chesil Theatre welcomed back its young thespians this September for another year of strong friendships, dramatic explorations and fun.
Chesil juniors (years 4-6) and Chesil seniors (years 7-13) are a key part of the theatre’s community.
They meet separately, once a week, to develop an exciting play performed in the Chesil Theatre.
As well as this, Chesil youth get amazing opportunities to perform alongside the adult company.
For example, the bi-annual summer outdoor production which in past years have included: Treasure Island, Mid Summers Night Dream and Wind and the Willows.
Chesil youth have been the ensembles to the lead role in many of these productions.
Providing great acting and backstage experience for them.
Nicky Hubbard; the director of Chesil seniors when asked to describe the atmosphere in the seniors group said: “I love the kids vivid imagination and sense of humour when we do improv."
“I also love to see how they develop when we do our annual production, the atmosphere is really friendly and exuberant."
“We have come along way together in the last three years which makes us something akin to a close knitted somewhat quirky family.”
As well as a great community, Chesil is held in a lovely building; St Peters church with elements of 12th century foundation is a perfect setting for an engaging theatre community.
Drop by to find out more about Chesil youth and the theatre on one of their open mornings (the first Saturday of every month 10:30am-12:30pm).
