Dynamo Youth Theatre is to stage an exciting version of Peter Pan in the New Year at St Faith’s Church Hall in Havant. We are delighted that the production is being directed by 3 former members who have gained professional experience in the arts or have continued to perform with local dramatic groups. They are juggling professional and studying commitments in November and December to offer the young members of Dynamo a unique experience.
Ross Cobbold from Hayling left the group in 2008 to study Musical Theatre at the Arden School of Theatre in Manchester. He is the overall director of the show and brings us experience of playing in panto and performing at the Edinburgh Fringe. Both Sally Goddard and Alice Searle left the group in 2006. Sally lives locally and has acted in many shows with South Downe Musical Society and CCADs, winning The News 2012 Best Amateur Actress Award for her role as Calamity in Calamity Jane and is directing many of the scenes featuring musical numbers. Alice graduated from the London College of Fashion with a degree in Costume for Performance and is now based in London. She is working on the design aspects of the show including some unusual (and unexpected) special effects. This promises to be a special show in Dynamo’s long history.
Peter Pan is at St Faith’s Church Hall. The Pallant, Havant on 3rd, 4th, 10th and 11th January at 7:30pm with matinees at 2:30pm on 4th and 11th. Tickets are £9 with concessions £8 and family tickets for 2 adults and 2 children at £30, available through Dynamo’s website www.hdyt.org.uk or by phoning 023 9245 4244. We hope to see you there!
