A YOUTH theatre group is offering youngsters in Inverclyde the chance to perform at an upcoming taster session.

The Beacon Youth Theatre is organising the event later this month and children aged 5 to 16 years old are invited to head along.

Organisers at the Beacon Arts Centre are opening the doors on Saturday, August 17 and letting the talent come in.

There will be workshops running all day offering a slice of life in the theatre from out front and also back stage.

The Glowbugs, for ages 5 to 8, runs from 10.45am to 11.30am followed by the Sparks, for ages 9 to 12, from 11.45am to 12.45pm.

In the afternoon the Flames workshop meets for ages 13 to 16, from 1.15pm to 2.45pm.

If you would like to register your young person to come along please phone the box office on 01475 723723 or email kevin@beaconartscentre.co.uk with your young person’s name, age and which group.
