"WOW"

That was the response from all of us after watching Hijinx's summer production "Full Circle" on Thursday night. It was such a beautiful piece of theatre with such strong and clear messages about following your dreams and having a circle of friends around you to support you. The audience even got the chance to join in kareoke stylee!! Wicked!

I must also point out how fortunate we all at MUTM were to be offered such reduced rate tickets. £2 to see such an amazing production is really special - the tickets were actually £7.50!!! A big thank you to Hijinx Theatre and The Miners' Theatre for that opportunity of which 8 lucky young people from MUTM took advantage of - Peter, Tess, Jacob, Sophie, Katie, Laura, Haddy and Alex - really glad you could make it.

After the show I was bombarded by you lot with ideas and feedback on the performance and its style and how we reckon we might be able to work with Hijinx in some way in the future....I spoke to Gaynor Lougher, the artistic director, after the show and they are keen for us to get involved in stuff going on at the Wales Millenium Centre, Cardiff - where they are based - some time in June...SO WATCH THIS SPACE!!!

In the meantime, plans are coming together for the Keeping it Real project in July and I am currently recruiting professional bilingual theatre artists for us to work with....Keep watching this space!!!

Anyway, I'd just like to say how much I enjoyed the trip to the theatre on Thursday and how you guys make a fab audience and are clearly watching theatre with a reflective eye. I drove home with a really happy feeling and am getting really excited about all our summer events!!!

Take it easy y'all,
Peri :)
