The Hay Junior Youth Theatre started in 2009, and have been giving performances ever since. I hugely enjoyed the performance of Henry V at Cusop Church, for instance - it seems strange to think that it was five years ago!
This year has been difficult for Hay Theatre because of lockdown, but by August it was possible to hold drama workshops outdoors. In Cusop Churchyard, they were dancing under the oak trees.
Now Hay Theatre has been given a grant from the Co-op Community Fund of £4,254 to continue their work. The project that the money is supporting is called A Midsummer Garden, which includes a specially adapted version of A Midsummer Night's Dream, and will be performed outdoors in Glasbury and Cusop Churchyard. Members of the Hay Adult Theatre Studies group have already started a read-through on Wednesday evenings at Glasbury Village Hall, while the young people will be rehearsing every Saturday after Christmas, outdoors.
Both Hereford Times and the Brecon and Radnor Express have articles about this, including a delightful picture in the B&R of children pretending to be squirrels under a tree.
