Throughout the Huron County Cultural Summit, the Blyth Festival Young Company will be working away with Lisa Gill (nee Hood) to create a special performance for attendees which will be presented a the end of the summit for all to enjoy!

Thursday Nov. 13, 10am-5pm, Blyth Memorial Hall
Registration required: Link in bio.

More about the Workshop: Creating theatre in a rural community is a lifeline for young folks living in the area. It can be difficult for young creative teens to see themselves reflected in the popular activities widely available in rural spaces. Theatre, visual art, music, dance, craft, writing, all become blazing life preservers in a sea of teenage uncertainty.

The presentation will introduce you to some of these amazingly talented folks and allow them to tell you, “Why Theatre?” Then, they will show you just what we mean. We will head to the Philips Studio Theatre where we will engage in a devising workshop surrounding the theme of the summit; Belonging. At the end of the day, we will showcase what is possible in just a few hours and welcome you into the world of collective creation.

Join the workshop: If you are a youth interested in registering for this workshop please register online: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSesMTlcmWv5DHYkQ6pyvfPp1Kv1cbHomjy9eRfw8i1GJYHs-A/viewform
