Youth Drama Group

Full length play performed in February

Our Youth Drama Group, only formed in early 2011, goes from strength to strength. There are now 20 to 30 members meeting regularly, and, after performing two short plays last year, they have recently staged their first full length play. Entitled ‘Flowers in the Desert’, the play by D M Larson had two public performances on 12th and 14th February, with a private showing on the 13th for visiting members of the BATH group from British Auckland in England. The group rose to the challenge with determination and enthusiasm, and the play was warmly received. Particularly notable is the fact that everything to do with the play was done by the group itself, with the adults, Maria and Deborah, acting only as facilitators.

Details of the Youth Drama Group

The Glengarriff Theatre Group formed a youth branch at the beginning of the 2011, headed up by Maria O’Sullivan and assisted by Deborah Hogan. Young people were traditionally included in the annual pantomimes in December but after that there were no further opportunities to develop their theatrical abilities. They wanted to experience the more challenging area of drama and, as a result, performed two very successful shows in February and June of 2011(“Teen Angels” and “Take Three Girls”). The group are responsible for their own set design, stage management, sound and lighting so not everyone has to act on stage. They are active from January to June and usually get together on Monday evenings in the Glengarriff Parochial Hall.
