MLT kids capture musical mood

Medway Little Theatre's talented youngsters will deliver a series of exciting short plays containing songs from hit musicals this week.

Members of the Children's Workshop Production - directed by Carol Scott - will perform four sketches at the Rochester-based theatre, while delivering numbers from a range of popular West End musicals.

The Children's Workshop offers 7-12 year-olds the chance to develop their confidence and acting skills and perform in annual shows, including the theatre's Youth Extravaganzas.

In their latest offering, Children's Workshop performers will encounter everything from valuable lessons about karma after landing on Neptune in It's A Funny Old World, to men battling for survival after becoming shipwrecked in The Raft.

Kairn Bignell, who is the stage manager and assistant director for this year's production, said: "The children have great fun and enjoy making friends, while they really enjoy the games and activities we do, as well as the chance to perform on stage."

The Children's Workshop Production runs from Friday, April 19, to Saturday, April 20, with each performance starting from 7.30pm.

Tickets range from just £1.50 for under-16s and £3 for adults.
