Final drama for Young Players
In the Deeside Community Theatre they will take part in the Northern Youth Divisional Finals of the Scottish Community Drama Association's Festival of One-Act Plays.
A GROUP of Blairgowrie Young Players, their stage crew, family, friends, and supporters will make the 125-mile round trip to Aboyne in Aberdeenshire on Saturday (March 14).
Blairgowrie were winners of the Perthshire District Youth Section with their play Belly Buttons by Carnoustie playwright Michael Malone.
The adjudicator, Ron Nicol, said that the production held the attention throughout and thoroughly entertained the appreciative audience with their clear delivery.
In Aboyne they will compete against three other clubs for the right to progress to the Scottish Youth Final in the Webster Theatre, Arbroath, on June 20.
Belly Buttons will be the last play to be presented on Saturday.
It is set in a school playground and deals with the difficulties 11-year-old girls and boys have dealing with the opposite sex, often with very amusing results.
The cast is Ross Gibbons as Willie; Gavin Pritchard as Andy; Charles Robinson as Clive; Amber Mackie as Tracey; Caitlin Mackenzie as Mandy; Molly O'Brien as Kylie.
The director is Graham Reid and the stage manager Ruth Reid.
The play, along with the two other plays entered by Blairgowrie Players in the Perthshire festival will be presented in the Town Hall on Saturday, March 21, at 7pm, giving local people the chance to see award winning plays.
Tickets, including refreshments, will be available from the Music Box, Wellmeadow, on 01250 875424, by the end of this week and at the door.
