Next month, young performers from Kensington Arts will take to the stage with a show that explores the challenges of teenage life.
Ravers is part of the National Theatre Connections Festival, an annual event that commissions new plays and brings together youth theatre groups from across the UK.
This year, Kensington Arts will present its largest-ever cast for a connections production, delivering three performances of Ravers by Rikki Beadle-Blair MBE.
The play explores themes of identity, culture, and the complexities of growing up—offering a thought-provoking yet entertaining look at teenage experiences.
Explores Challenges
David Dawson, Director, said: ”We are thrilled to be performing our 10th National Theatre Connections play—and with our biggest cast yet! Ravers is a powerful exploration of how we see ourselves, navigate teenage years, and find where we fit in.”
Emma Goodson, Creative Development Coordinator at Kensington Arts, added: “At Kensington Arts, we are passionate about providing young people with opportunities to thrive creatively.
“Ravers highlights the incredible talent of our cast while using theatre to explore important social themes in an engaging and relatable way. We can’t wait for audiences to experience this fantastic production.”
The show takes place on February 28 at 7:30pm and March 1 at 5pm and 7:30pm at the Kensington Arts Theatre, Douglas.
