SUMMER PROJECT - CREATE AND PLAY

In August 2025, Montgomeryshire Youth Theatre ran an exciting two-day Create a Play project at Guilsfield Community Centre. The workshop brought together young people aged nine to sixteen who were eager to explore their own stories and bring them to life using a wide range of creative techniques including acting, movement, mask work, and creative writing.

Throughout the two days, participants were encouraged to collaborate closely with one another, building confidence and developing their imagination in a supportive and inspiring environment. They had the opportunity to try out many different roles in the theatre-making process, from performing and directing to experimenting with mime and devising original scenes. The workshop provided a safe space for everyone to express themselves, take creative risks, and discover new ways of storytelling.

The project culminated in a lively sharing session where friends, family, and members of the community were invited to see the results of all the hard work. The performances were full of energy, creativity, and originality, demonstrating just how much talent there is among young people in Powys. Each participant shone in their own way, and it was inspiring to see their stories come to life on stage through their dedication and imagination.

Well done to everyone who took part in the Create a Play workshop. Your creativity and enthusiasm truly made the event special, and it was a joy to see the incredible ideas you all brought to the stage.
