The YAC Players Open for their first school audiences March 2023
Around a year ago we had a vision… we wanted to bring amazing theatre to schools around Cambridgeshire whilst also offering opportunities for local actors. Yesterday we opened Romeo and Juliet to our first school audience at The Corpus Playroom and saw our vision come to life. All thanks to our wonderful Director Darren and the phenomenal cast.
We cannot wait to share this with all of our school audiences this week. We are beaming with pride!
