Community Youth Project - Garrick Runners - Lichfield 10k

Here at The Lichfield Garrick Theatre we are committed to providing and investing in ongoing programmes of skills development for young people to better position themselves for employment and success within the arts sector and in their adult life. We achieve this through building core life skills such as confidence, teamwork, leadership, respect and commitment.

We want to inspire and develop the next generation of theatre-makers, writers, directors, dancers, musicians and actors to ensure the arts community in Staffordshire is thriving. So this autumn we are launching a new Youth Theatre Programme for local young people. This new programme will offer local young people opportunities to gain skills in acting, marketing, stage management, technical theatre and wardrobe through a new annual training programme. These skills are then used to produce, under professional guidance and direction, an annual Production.

In order to help us achieve this ambition we are currently looking to raise £3.000 to help local young people engage with The Garrick and realise their true potential. As a staff team we have decided to raise money for this new programme and so on Sunday 13th September we are taking part in The Lichfield 10k. We would really value and appreciate your support and sponsorship. You can help us by donating through this page.
