This free creative day is a chance for young performers, theatre makers and youth theatre groups from across Wrexham County Borough to come together, make work, share ideas, and help shape the future of theatre in Wrexham as part of Wrecsam2029, the UK City of Culture Bid in Wrexham.

Together, we’ll explore big questions like:

  • What do you need to become a professional artist, actor or theatre maker from and in Wrexham?

The day will feature a lively, performance-based workshop led by the award-winning Dirty Protest Theatre. A Wrexham-based professional new writing theatre company who are featured on the WJEC GCE AS/A-level Drama and Theatre specification as a theatre company to study. Dirty Protest’s contemporary Welsh plays, including “Parallel Lines” by Katherine Chandler, “Lightspeed from Pembroke Dock” by Mark Williams, “Sugar Baby” by Alan Harris, and “How To Be Brave” by Sian Owen are studied by drama students across the UK.

Dirty Protest and friends will be at the historic Y Stiwt for a lively, performance-based workshop for youth theatre groups, and young performers and theatre makers from across Wrexham County Borough.

This is a chance to:

  • take part in exciting workshops

  • meet professional artists and makers

  • share your voice and ideas

  • help shape what theatre could look like in Wrexham’s City of Culture bid and beyond
