Step into the limelight

There's another opportunity to tread the boards with In The Limelight at The Old Town Hall, Hemel Hempstead, where the Arts Education Team has been busy dreaming up some fun theatrical activities for the holidays.

Young people aged from five to 16 have the opportunity to create their own performance using movement, music, drama games, improvisation, props and storytelling techniques. Each age-specific session will result in a short performance for family and friends.

The course runs from Monday, March 31 to Thursday, April 3.
