The Torch Theatre in Milford Haven has announced a programme of Summer Schools for children and young people this August. Places can now be booked for some great summer fun with new friends, boundless creativity and heaps of learning.

The week-long Torch Drama Workshops (£60 per child/ £50 per sibling) are led by industry experts and both weeks will end in a sharing performance on the Torch Theatre stage with parents and guardians invited to come along and watch (no charge).

The sessions each day are drama led and involve fun, games, challenges and opportunities to learn new drama skills and perform in a safe environment – everything you would expect from the Torch Youth Theatre.

Taking place over five days from 9.30 am to 4 pm, the Junior Youth Theatre Drama Summer School, for 7 to 10 years old, is during the week August 1 to 5; the Senior Youth Theatre Drama Summer School for 11 to 16 year olds is the following week, August 8 to 12.

Joon Dance: If dance is more your thing, then how about four day-long workshops learning ‘Odette’s Revenge’, which is a modern sequel to Swan Lake and again, culminating in a show. Children and young people of all ages can attend: Joon Bugs ages 6-10, Jooniers ages 12-16, Joon Youth/Gold 16+ (with no upper age limit)

Dates for the Dance Summer School (from £55 to £85 per child) are: Monday to Thursday, August 15 to 18, 10 am to 1 pm, and Show Day on Friday August 19 from 1 pm onwards with the show on the same day at 7.30 pm.

Tickets to attend the performance are £6.

Musical Theatre Week: Monday to Friday, August 22 to 26 is the Torch Theatre’s musical theatre workshop (£75 per child / £65 per sibling) which will result in a sharing performance for parents and guardians on the last day.

Run by musical director and voice coach, Angharad Sanders (Torch Voices) with support from Pembrokeshire Drama practitioner, Lucy O’Neill, participants will work together to create the musical Legally Blonde Junior in a week!

For ages 10 and over, these workshops will run from 9.30 am to 4 pm.

The Torch is also offering a multibuy offer: £115 per child / £100 sibling – to attend both the Senior Youth Theatre Workshops and the Musical Theatre week.
