Hello and welcome to Episode 12 of Garrick Chats With...
And after tonight's announcement, this week's episode really couldn't have arrived in more of a timely fashion!
In March 2021, after a year in lockdown, and a year with no performances or audiences, our Youth Theatre conducted a 90-minute Zoom performance named 'Lockdown Life'. 35 of our wonderful students gathered together nearly every evening on Zoom, to create a mock-umentary style show about a year in lockdown.
Our 6-18-year-old students created their own lockdown characters and brought them to life through monologues, duologues and group performances. After 6 weeks of Zoom rehearsals, our Youth Theatre sold out its first ever virtual show, reaching full capacity with a proud and engaging audience.
We have had guests on Garrick Chats With... that we could never have imagined talking with, but now it's time for you to hear our talent!
As always, we hope you enjoy. Please let us know what you think. As we now seem to be moving forward, and as back-to-normal as can be, we are proud to have episodes like this on our archives to remind us of how we stuck together, kept in touch, but MOST of all had lots of fun during the pandemic.
Happy listening,
Stockport Garrick Youth Theatre
