It runs from Monday July 22 to Friday July 26. It starts on the Monday with a script written by award-winning writer and director Kate Bramley which has been written especially for this unique group of young people.

The week ends with performing a full show with lights, sound, stage, costumes for family and friends on the Friday evening.

“It is is always a sight to behold. There are no auditions and no previous acting experience is needed,” said Kate.
