Theatre 4 Teens

This group was founded in September 2022 and provides teens with fun, educational and enriching theatre experiences. In the first year we performed a comedy in TMP entitled "The Cast List" which was a great success. In 23/24 we performed a mystery comedy "Rogue's Gallery". This season we are looking forward to working on our first teen musical - S'Cool.
