The Crescent Youth Theatre

In addition to the adult theatre, the Crescent has a Youth Theatre group which meets on Saturday mornings.

Each season, the Youth Theatre stages two productions a year, one by the Senior group and one by the Juniors.

The Youth Theatre Seniors staged a very moving Lorca Trilogy in March 2009 and there is a video relating to this on YouTube.

The Youth Theatre Juniors perfromed The Tempest in June 2009 and there is also a YouTube video of this.

In 2008 the Youth Theatre staged As You Like It in March and the Juniors performed a devised piece called Killing Time in May.

Other recent productions were The Last Resort in May 2007, Ghetto in March 2007, Twelfth Night, in March 2006, George Orwell's 1984 in March 2005 and Dance Marathon in March 2004.

In 2006 the Junior section staged their first performance in front of an audience with The Shepherd Boy and, more recently, The Last Resort on 12th May 2007.

Recently they created a shory Halloween video called "Horror Movie". This can be seen on Google Video.

In 2000, under the direction of Carran Waterfield, they devised and presented "Millennophobia", which explored the expectations and fears of people as we moved into the new millennium and a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream was staged in the studio in July of that year.
