The theme for the Saturday drama classes this term is ‘spooky stories‘ and Gothic plays. To coincide with this, the Youth groups (13 to 18 year olds) were treated to a guided tour of West Norwood cemetery, run by The Friends of the Cemetery. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon as the youth theatre members were shown around the cemetery and learned about the history and famous people buried there, all while gaining inspiration for exploring the Gothic genre.
SLT Youth Theatre were delighted to host a Q&A session with actor Mark Ebulué. Mark told our Youth Theatre members about his career, what he enjoyed best, how he prepared for roles and how caring for your voice is important for actors. He chatted about his voiceover work including extensive work on video games, which resonated with the young audience. Mark also gave them useful tips about managing money and setting a budget which is so important for actors. The Youth […]
Jeanette Hoile introduces Waiting For Godot by Samuel Beckett Waiting for Godot was last performed at SLT in 1974 and 1992, the latter of which you were involved in as a production assistant. What inspired you to direct this production today? Although involved in many aspects of the 1992 production, I took no part in directorial decisions or directing at the time, and only became interested in this much later. Recently, I decided to revisit the play as I enjoy […]
Siobhán Campbell announces her cast for Lost Monsters by Laurence-Wilson “With rehearsals grinding to a halt in March 2020, we put our props away and scripts ended up under a pile of lockdown activities. I was thrilled when TC approached me to ask if we wanted to continue with the production and jumped at the chance. Nearly 18 months on it was necessary to recast several of the roles, definitely the hardest audition process I’ve ever had. It was lovely […]

Jessica Osorio introduces Switzerland by Joanna Murray-Smith. You recently directed Bombshells by Joanna Murray-Smith in November 2020. What inspired you to take on another of her productions? I had originally submitted another play but as the rights were no longer available, I needed to find another play that was suitable in the current climate. I really enjoyed the writing and characters in Bombshells and had already read Switzerland previously prior to submitting last season. Although I had never read any […]
