On The Rocks Youth Theatre – St Andrews

Leave a comment
On The Rocks Youth Theatre has become firmly entrenched in the arts calendar in St Andrews. In the past three years there have been memorable performances by local schoolchildren creating Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland and fairytales in the magnificent setting of St Andrews Castle. This year it’s happening again with a few changes – we’ve moved to the stunningly picturesque setting of the Botanic Gardens and we’re taking on Roald Dahl’s classic comedy masterpiece, Revolting Rhymes.
Over the 2 week Easter holiday children aged 9+ get to work with professional Scottish theatre company, Sunlight Productions to devise the script, learn new drama techniques and create a wonderful performance, leading their audience on a magical journey all over the Botanic Gardens. We’ve been supported by the St Andrews Community Trust which means that it is once again FREE to take part.
The performances take place on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th April. There are still places available so to take part and find out more details please contact Julie at otr.youththeatre@gmail.com. Anyone aged 9 years and older can come and join in.

St Andrews received £150,000 in the category for places with fewer than 100,000 residents.  The runners up were Irvine and Perth. St Andrews will be hosting its own Year of Celebration in 2012 and the award will allow the town to promote its already rich cultural programme to the UK and international visitors and to support a new community musical theatre production as the year’s centre piece production.
