Reliving old memories

There have been some amazing shows over the years at TYA and with the pantomime coming up, here are a selection of some of the productions the company has done over the years...

The Dark Tales of the Night

TYA's first performance was in 2006: The Dark Tales of The Night based on ‘The Grim Tales’. Small groups each performed a different tale and gave their own interpretation of the stories. The success of this performance gave everyone confidence and the desire to stage more productions. The Nantwich Young Actors raised money from this performance for the Shelter Box Appeal.

Cinderella

Cinderella was the second production by TYA and was performed in 2007 at Malbank High School. The pantomime itself was split into different sections to enable everyone to work within smaller groups to develop the performance and to ensure that every student had the opportunity to show their skills and the improvement made over their time with TYA. Some sections of the play were written by the students themselves and all costumes were designed and chosen by them as well.

Under the Influence

This performance really allowed the students to understand the development of a production and the process of putting one together, beginning with auditions and ending with a fantastic show! Wacky Soap explored some serious issues whilst including songs and monologues as well as plenty of comedy moments.

TYA have put on other shows, some without script, one developed purely from the stimulus of a simple myth. 

'Sleeping Beauty' will be performed on 6th February at Malbank School, with one performance at 12, and a second at 2.30. Tickets are £3.50, email actconfident_actnatural@hotmail.com for more information. TYA dance group will also be performing.
