What an incredible six days it was for Montgomeryshire Youth Theatre!

From start to finish, our young people were completely immersed in the world of theatre as we had the wonderful opportunity to collaborate with Stage Five Theatre, alongside stage combat experts Tom and John, to create a unique performance of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

For five days, the project was based in Oswestry, where 24 young adults came together to explore, create, rehearse and discover just how much can be achieved through teamwork, creativity and a shared passion for theatre.  Over the project, our young people experienced many different aspects of theatre, including script reading, character development, teamwork, physical theatre, performance techniques and stage combat. They were encouraged to step outside their comfort zones, work together and discover new ways of expressing themselves on stage.And then came the truly magical finale…The group travelled to the wonderful Willow Globe open-air theatre, where they had the opportunity to perform a specially created 30-minute version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

To see everything they had worked on come together in such a unique setting was an incredibly proud moment for everyone involved. The energy, enthusiasm and commitment shown by the young people throughout the project was fantastic, and their final performance was a brilliant celebration of everything they had achieved.

For Montgomeryshire Youth Theatre, this project was a true success. We are incredibly proud to have been part of such a creative and inspiring collaboration and, most importantly, proud of each and every one of our young people who embraced the experience wholeheartedly.We hope these pictures and videos give you a little glimpse into the magic of our A Midsummer Night’s Dream project. 🎭✨
