Pewsey Vale Youth Theatre triumph in the Five Counties Youth Drama Finals

The cast and crew of PVADS Youth Theatre production of 'Fall of the House of Usher' by Edgar Allen Poe are celebrating their win in the finals of the Youth Drama Competition on Saturday.

It was the turn of Wiltshire to host the finals this year and thanks must go to all who helped make the Bouverie Hall in Pewsey a very successful venue for this event. The cast of eleven, all aged between 10 and 16, have been working on this play since it was first performed as part of a PVADS show last October, before going on to win both Best Youth play and best Dramatic Endeavour award at the Harold Joliffe One Act Play Festival in Swindon in February.

10 year old Cherry Mawby set to steal the show!

Bring your hankies to this weeks’ production by the Youth Section of Pewsey Vale Amateur Dramatics society of ‘Our Day Out’ by Willy Russell (author of Blood Brothers) on Thursday 26th- Saturday 28th October at 7.30 in the Bouverie Hall, Pewsey.

Cherry Mawby, aged 10, has a lead role in this challenging musical – playing a child desperate to escape her life of poverty and abuse – she takes this wish to the extremes.

Director Nettie Powell has again chosen a play with a social conscience that makes you laugh and makes you cry. She has managed to create an amazing performance of contrasting emotions, all from talented local youngsters in Pewsey Vale. Whilst engrossed in the story and action on stage we forget that the majority of the actors are children ranging from 10 to 16, with the exceptions of Darren Little, Steve Clements and some cameo character roles from Martin Clifton and Nettie, our very own director.

Audition Notice - 'Our Day Out'

Calling all talented youths (10+)!!!

Auditions for this funny and emotional musical play
will be held in the Bouverie Hall at 2.30pm on Sunday 2nd July 2006.

There are 10 principal roles and up to 25 chorus parts in Mrs Kay's progress class. The action takes place on a school trip from inner city Liverpool to Conway Castle with stops at a café, a zoo, a fair and the beach on the way. The kids get up to all manner of mischief much to the annoyance of strict Mr Briggs. The musical numbers are simple and I've already booked a 'speech coach' to help us with our Liverpudlian accents!!

Rehearsals will be on most Sunday afternoons from July with pm rehearsals 21st - 23rd, 29th & 30th Aug and you must be able to attend each day during October half term.

Auditions will involve some script reading and singing and a workshop style improvisation. Principals will be asked to sing a solo piece.
