Genesis, Wellington Arts Association’s youth theatre group, was set to resume sessions on Wednesday this coming week at the Arts Centre in Eight Acre Lane.

The group, for children in school Years 7 to 11, is looking for new members. Youngsters have fun learning all aspects of theatre – stagecraft, singing, characterisation, how to make and use props, understanding and using sound and lighting effects, script writing, choreography, costume design, slap-stick and more.

Members will perform a Christmas cabaret in December this year and a summer show in 2022.

The arts association is a non-profit community organisation run by people with many years in the theatre environment, both on stage and behind the scenes.

The junior annual membership fee is £7 – any youngsters who would like to be involved should email [email protected]
