Year 9 Perform on a Professional Stage
Pupils in the year 9 Drama GCSE class performed Orchestra by Charlie Josephine at the Arts Depot on 25th April as part of the National Theatre Connections Festival 2024.
Connections is the National Theatre’s annual, nationwide youth theatre festival. The programme is 30 years old and has a history of championing the talent of young people from across the UK.
The pupils relished the opportunity to experience what it was like to perform on a professional stage in front of a paying audience. They performed with confidence and characterisation, entertaining the audience throughout.
The pupils loved the experience of rehearsing and performing in a professional setting. They are now looking forward to going to the National Theatre in June to see how Orchestra is performed by another young company.
