A SHOWCASE of Cardiff's brightest young talent will be performed at the New Theatre on Saturday, August 8.

A variety show with a difference, Ladder is an exuberant, exciting and entertaining event produced by their Arts Active team. Devised with the help of members from NoFit State Circus, Earthfall, Rubicon Dance, Everyman Youth and Community Music Wales.

Using the ladder motif, young people aged 14-25 years will be encouraged to ‘climb ever higher’ as they work with arts professionals to create a unique celebratory event. The audience will be treated to an evening of eclectic performances from talented actors, graceful dancers, exciting musicians and breathtaking circus acts.

Many of these very talented young people will be performing at the New Theatre for the very first time, all overseen by the New’s outreach department, Arts Active. David Baxter, the Arts Active manager, had this to say: “Ladder is about the young people – an opportunity to celebrate and showcase their talents and skills, as well as a chance for them to come together exploring their worlds, their dreams and ideals for the future.”

Tickets cost £8 each and for further details please call the box office on 02920 878889.
