Ravers: A show by young performers from Kensington Arts
Young performers from Kensington Arts are preparing to take the stage with Ravers, an exciting new production that delves into the challenges of teenage life next month.
The show is part of the prestigious National Theatre Connections Festival, an annual event that commissions new plays and brings together youth theatre groups from across the British Isles.
This year, Kensington Arts will present its largest-ever cast for a Connections production, delivering three performances of Ravers by Rikki Beadle-Blair MBE. The play explores themes of identity, culture, and the complexities of growing up—offering a thought-provoking yet entertaining look at teenage experiences.
David Dawson, Director, said: ”We are thrilled to be performing our 10th National Theatre Connections play—and with our biggest cast yet! Ravers is a powerful exploration of how we see ourselves, navigate teenage years, and find where we fit in.’
Emma Goodson, Creative Development Coordinator at Kensington Arts, added: “At Kensington Arts, we are passionate about providing young people with opportunities to thrive creatively. Ravers highlights the incredible talent of our cast while using theatre to explore important social themes in an engaging and relatable way. We can’t wait for audiences to experience this fantastic production.”
