Dumfries
and Galloway’s only professional theatre company, Electric Theatre
Workshop, have announced they are providing an all new youth theatre
group due to popular demand!
After
two very successful years, Electric Theatre Workshop’s youth theatre
(Dumfries Youth Theatre) has already produced four outstanding pieces of
theatre work with one now touring, set in a nightclub. The performance
of Blood Orange was shown in Chancers Nightclub on the 22nd September.
But
this is just not enough for the young people of Dumfries, and youths
from surrounding areas cannot wait to be involved in something as great
as this! The theatre group will be named ‘’Dumfries and Galloway Youth
Theatre’’ and it will run from Saturday 5th October from 12:00 until 15:00 in the Munches Street studios.
This
group will offer young people from all over our region (15 -25 year
olds) the chance to improve and develop their acting techniques and also
enhance their script reading and writing skills.
It
will give youths the chance to build new relationships with others of
the same age and also boost their confidence levels. If youths are keen
on writing their own pieces of theatre or would just like to try it out
then this group will give them the opportunity to explore all different
types of work.

Jordan Chisholm, associate artist, Electric Theatre Workshop, said:
‘’We
are delighted to be starting up an all new and exciting youth theatre
group, right here in the town, that involves not only the youths of
Dumfries, but also those who don’t have the same opportunity in
neighbouring areas. After all, Dumfries is in the business of the arts
and where else is better to develop the talent we already have?’’
If
you are interested in coming along - pop in to our studios in Munches
Street and chat to some of our team, or to register call us on 01387
