The show will go on as summer fest returns for PACE
Youngsters will have the chance to make friends, learn new skills, take risks and make memories at PACE theatre’s summer programme.
Fest! is back this year with lots of opportunities for young people aged from three to 21.
The programme has a number of exciting performance courses from classic to contemporary texts, physical theatre, comedy and musicals.
Highlights include several sitespecific outdoor productions including A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Into the Woods and The Secret Garden; a strand of youth-led productions inspired by the climate crisis; devised and physical theatre performances; comedy and improv events; film-making and writing workshops as well as musical theatre shows including Bugsy Malone and 13.
Jenni Mason, artistic director of PACE, said: “We can’t wait to have our building buzzing with energy and creativity again this summer.
“We’re incredibly proud of the way the team adapted last year to deliver an online programme, but we really missed being able to see everyone in person.
“During Fest! we see the young people who join us grow in confidence, as well as creating amazing performances, and this year more than ever it’s important that they have this opportunity to express themselves and to mix with their peers.”
Staff at Paisley’s young people’s theatre have been working hard to make sure participants can experience all of the social, educational and well-being benefits of our summer activities safely and in line with current covid guidance.
PACE successfully re- introduced face-to-face workshops for the summer term, and has made a number of changes to capacities, introduced staggered start times, enhanced cleaning, ventilation and other procedures to minimise risk and all activities have been risk assessed in line with covid guidance for children’s activities, youth work and performance.
