The Youth Theatre is open to teenagers and young adults
aged 14 to 21 years who are enthusiastic about the
performing arts. Coming mainly from the community of Hungerford and surrounding
towns and Villages and those who have worked their way up from the Children’s Theatre. This group gets involved in all aspects of the club from street theatre to drama.
They often become involved with HADCAF events, combine with the
senior drama group and fill individual roles within the Town Show.
In addition, each year they aim to put on a production during July which begins rehearsal in March or April.
One exciting project saw the team combining with The Players (the adult drama group) to perform The Gut Girls at The Hungerford Corn Exchange. This was a dramatic and logistical challenge but the strength and depth of the club helped produce a very effective piece of theatre.

Last Production - “The Cleaners“ by Hoffi Munt & Samuel Robinson
Loosely based on the writer’s own experiences as a
cleaner, ‘The Cleaners’ is a comedy following the
story of 7 wayward teens that are forced to clean an office in the hope that
it will redeem them of their former ways. As they battle against addiction,
ASBOs, teenage pregnancy, OCDs, anger, stupidity and just plain bad luck
they are overseen by the unrelenting and bizarre supervisors and office
workers. With the odds against them will they ever become upstanding members
of society? A surreal, ironic and cynical look at how young people are
perceived today.
Performances were
10th -11th June 2010
