MY STORY!This production was very successful in many aspects, firstly a lot, if not most, of the children involved have never met each other or us before that week, and it was great to see them all working together to produce a good piece of theatre in just a short space of time. From FYT’s viewpoint it was great to work with some new children from around the local area & with the Arts Development team on such an important project like the Lit.Com festival.
The show, based on stories by Jacqueline Wilson, looked amazing with the bright neon pieces of costume set against the black of the stage and the black clothes the kids wore. We all enjoyed working with the participants, and we had a really good time. A special mention must be said to the older members of our youth theatre that took time out from their holiday to come and help with the production - thank you Charli and Jasmine! The feedback from the show was fantastic, ‘very impressive’, ‘one of the best things we have seen by young people’, ‘incredibly professional looking’. Another special thank you must be said to the staff of the Lindsey School, for helping us through the week. And lastly a big thank you to all the participants involved in the week, for giving their full commitment to the project every day. - Scott Middleton
