Longford's Backstage Theatre proud to introduce first ever Junior Ambassador Panel
The Junior Ambassador Panel have been selected from a large number of applicants and are being mentored by Backstage Artist in Residence, Maisie Lee
Backstage Theatre are proud to introduce their first ever Junior Ambassador Panel.
Selected from a large number of applicants, these creative minds have been meeting monthly with their mentor, and Backstage Artist in Residence, Maisie Lee, to take the first steps in this year-long adventure with Backstage.
Over the next 12 months, this dedicated group of 10-to-11 year olds, will get a chance to learn about how Backstage Theatre works and to contribute ideas to ensure that all children feel welcome, heard and represented in Backstage.
They have been attending creative workshops and shows, including Kyle Riley's Little Folk on the Road and most recently Youth Theatre Island as part of Cruinniú na nÓg on Saturday, June 6.
The workshops and fun will continue throughout the year as they focus on a number of creative areas and skills, as well as exploring children’s rights and contributing ideas to Backstage Theatre’s programme and associated artists.
This initiative is kindly supported by Arts Council Ireland and Creative Ireland via Longford County Council.
