A new addition to Wanstead’s cultural landscape is taking shape with the launch of the Wanstead Youth Theatre, a new venture from the Wanstead Fringe.
Weekly sessions will be starting on Wednesday 1 October, immediately after this year’s Fringe festival, and the hope is to grow into a project which would see regular youth theatrical performances at the Wanstead Curtain.
There is a form for interested parents to complete at the Wanstead Fringe site here.
Meanwhile the Fringe has sent this update ahead of this September’s programme being published.
What a great idea. Good luck
Your actors may like to consider entering the Stratford and East London Music and Drama Festival. It’s held every February and is a great way to showcase and hone your talents in a supportive and professionally adjudicated competitive festival. The best overall actors can secure a £100 prize.
