About
by Bryony Lavery, Steven Hoggett & Scott Graham
Same old story. 'Boy' doesn't meet 'Girl'. 'Girl' doesn't meet 'Boy'. Threatened by gangs, but not as you might know them. Mum and Dad have declared war. Neighbour causing trouble in the building opposite. Usual ordinary gloominess.
Then, one day, it snows… and everything changes.
Expect their signature brand of inventive performance, physical theatre, original music and some serious talent as Camden Youth Theatre take you into their own world in this timely re-imagining of Bryony Lavery's National Theatre Connections hit.
If you can't make it on either of these dates you can see the show at Camden People's Theatre on Sunday 12 May @ 5.30pm or Monday 13 May at 7pm. On Sunday 12 May the performance at CPT will be followed by a post-show talk with the company and Director (Gemma Rowan) all about making theatre with Youth Companies.
On Monday night at both venues, before IT SNOWS begins, there will be a short curtain-raiser performance by Camden Youth Theatre's Friday group, Directed by CYT alumni Anais Lone (as part of CYT's new alumni mentoring programme).
This production is supported by John Lyon's Charity, Mercers Charitable Foundation, British Land PLC and Old Diorama Arts Centre.

ABOUT CAMDEN YOUTH THEATRE
New Diorama Theatre and Camden People’s Theatre have joined forces to set up a brilliant new Youth Theatre.
Camden Youth Theatre (CYT) introduces local young people aged 13-19 to the skills they need to make their own inventive new theatre. They work with top professional theatre makers, creating new shows and performing at two of London’s best studio theatres.
In 2018 they were invited to present their production NOISE at the prestigous Chrysalis Festival in Scotland - a platform for young theatre makers across the UK.
