Notes on the Process
“The first show I took part in was MOTION in 2018 and I’ve been a member of Polmont Youth Theatre since the start. PYT is a good space to build confidence and make a new group of friends. It’s good for getting involved in things you haven’t tried before and I am getting better at making shows from scratch.
It’s fun doing a panto because we’ve been having a good laugh and everyone gets involved. For this panto, we looked at different stories and devised and wrote our own version of the Grinch. We hope you like it so just kick back, relax and enjoy the show!”
