Ambitions. We've got a few...
Burnley Youth Theatre has one of the few purpose built youth theatres in the country - it's a great building, and a fantastic space. The building was supported by the National Lottery, and the NWDA - and we know we're lucky to have it. It seats 158 - and provides us with an excellent space to play all our shows, run workshops, conferences, meetings and so on
The building is well used throughout the evenings of weekdays with workshops and projects. On Fridays and Saturdays we have fewer needs for the space ourselves, and are looking for ways to use the space that are beneficial both to our young people and to the wider community of Burnley.
Our absolute ambition is to encourage small and medium size companies to see us a potential venue when they are touring new work. We feel that we are well-placed to be this venue because very few other venues in East Lancashire are able to offer the size and quality of venue we can provide. And because we want our young people and their extended families to have access to high quality theatre of all kinds on their doorsteps. Being able to see a wide variety of shows extends young people's understanding of theatre (frankly it extends us all) and what might be possible... here - within our own space - and to say loudly and clearly that professional theatre is not other, or elsewhere but here. Now. And just think (we thought!) no drive to Manchester to see professional high quality and innovative theatre. Genius...
And so to Dodgy Clutch Theatre Company - on the 25th February, 2011 7:30pm
We saw the possibilities of this company and thought it was a great piece to really take a chance on developing our receiving house credentials. They are a great company - innovative and clever. Here is a clip from an earlier show 'Elephant'
Take a look - and then book your tickets for Xolisile's Song. You wouldn't want to miss out now, would you?
01282 427767 from 10:00 am every day ;)
