Set designs at st albans abbey

15/4/2019

0 Comments

 
We had another lovely morning at St Albans Abbey this morning working with our group of volunteers who have been making puppets and sets in weekly sessions since January.  They've made a lot of progress recently, with some people making up to four puppets each, and others working hard on the backdrops. We also started props for the shows today.

We are delighted to be introducing two new shows to our library this year, both written by Rebekah King - The Crossing Place, about the life of St Alban, and A Grim Day Out about Lord Grimthorpe, who was influential in the development of the Abbey in the nineteenth century. The two productions will use the puppets and sets made by the volunteers, and will be performed by Year Six children at Alban City School, who will be stringing the puppets later this month, and beginning rehearsals next month. The shows will be performed to the public at the Abbey on Monday 24th June - tickets will be on sale on the Abbey website soon!

With the Easter holidays starting tomorrow, we've finished rehearsals for this term at Central Primary. The puppets, props and sets are all ready to go and we've blocked out each scene - looking forward to bringing the two shows together after the holidays! In the meantime, we hope you all have a lovely restful break.

​We are very sorry to say goodbye to Andrew Blankfield, our outgoing Chair of Trustees, this month as he steps down after four years as a YPPT Trustee. Andrew has been incredibly influential in the YPPT's early years, as he was our first Chair and oversaw the formation of the charity as well as our registration with the Charity Commission, our pilot projects and our expansion to where we are now. We are very grateful indeed for all his hard work supporting the YPPT and wish him all the best for the future!
