Young people wanted for new theatre project in Barnstaple

Are you aged between 11 and 14? And interested in performing? If you are, then St Anne's Arts and Community Centre in Barnstaple would like to hear from you.

The centre is launching an exciting new theatre project aimed at youngsters interested in drama. The Multistory Theatre Company will be working with a group of local young people to devise a brand new play based on the history of St Anne's Chapel on Paternoster Row in Barnstaple. The group will meet for eight weeks, every Monday, starting on 4 February (6pm – 7.30pm), with the project concluding with a live performance in the building itself in late March.

Bill and Gill, of Multistory Theatre, said, "We are thrilled to be leading this exciting project, we have lots of ideas and have been researching the Huguenots who used St Anne's as a secret chapel as a starting point. We look forward to working with a group of young people from Barnstaple, everyone is welcome to join in even if drama isn't your favourite subject at school."

Any young person aged 11 – 14 years is welcome to join the project; it's free to take part. Please register your interest by emailing stannes@barnstapletowncouncil.co.uk or call 01271 373311. Spaces are limited.
