The New Art Gallery in Walsall has teamed up with the Birmingham Rep and are looking for budding young actors to take part in a theatre performance inspired by art.
A 10-week programme will enable youngsters aged between 11-14 to work alongside a professional theatre director, learning script writing, physical theatre and scenography, before bringing it all together for a grand finale performance.
The programme takes place between 22 February- 21 March 2024 after school each Thursday and costs £50 per person with full and part bursaries available to those eligible for free school meals.
“This is a fantastic opportunity offering an invaluable experience for the next generation of actors and theatre makers, as well as a chance for young people to express the things they are passionate about,” said Councillor Gary Flint, Portfolio Holder for Wellbeing, Leisure and Public Spaces at Walsall Council.
