Youth Theatre Group
Stirling Players has been promoting youth theatre for many years in various forms, most recently as Youth Musicals and one-act plays for YouthFest. It offers young people, in and around the City of Stirling, a creative opportunity to learn about the different aspects of performance and production.
Broadway Beat
Broadway Beat, a jukebox musical, will be a Stirling Players’ entry into YouthFest 2023, to be held at Aquinas College on the weekend of September 16/17. There will be a club night to showcase our YouthFest plays on September 13 at 7pm.
Director - Fran Gordon
Musical Director - Krispin Maesalu
Broadway Beat explores the history of musicals on Broadway and features songs from the early years of George M Cohan up to recent times with songs from shows such as Wicked and Hairspray. It is an ensemble piece but there are a few solo songs and everyone gets to say some lines. There is a lot of singing, dancing and moving.
Our second entry for Youthfest is Talking to Strangers written by Yvette Wall and directed by Peter Giles. Izzy (Evelyn Ellis) and Gert (Penny Giles), from very different worlds, meet by chance in a park and discover they have a surprising, yet complex, connection.
Come along to the theatre to see these two productions on Wednesday September 13 at 7 pm.
