FOR the past twenty years, Thame Youth Theatre has offered local youngsters the chance to be involved in theatre and dance, performing very nearly 200 shows, and organising tours and exchanges across three continents.
In 2007, the Drama Studio at Lord Williams?s Lower School, their base from the very beginning, was completely destroyed in an arson attack and the past two years without a home have been very difficult.
However, the new Phoenix Studio has risen from the ashes of the old building and Thame Youth Theatre are back in business with three thriving groups all working towards new Christmas shows.
To celebrate both birthday and the re-launch, Thame Youth Theatre is holding a special celebration cabaret. It promises to be quite a night, with lots of old members returning to lend their support and performers from our past joining some of our current young people to present an all-star line-up of comedy and music including:
Rob Deering, renowned stand-up of stage, TV and radio, winner of the stand-up comedians? Weakest Link
Sam Alexander, young star of the Royal Shakespeare Company, Rosencrantz in the David Tennant Hamlet, currently appearing in Twelfth Night
Amy Darcy, recently starring with Phil Jupitus in Life Coach in the West End, and appearing as a doctor in Eastenders
Felix Hayes and Tom Warwick, two of the original cast who created The Gruffalo on stage.
The Boom Jennies, comedy sketch trio, rising stars on the London and Edinburgh circuits.
And so much more?
It promises to be a sparkling evening, and all money raised will go towards providing extendable seating in the new Phoenix Studio.
The cabaret takes place at Lord Williams?s Lower School Hall, Towersey Road, Thame on Sunday, November 1, 2009, at 7.30pm. Tickets are
