We are delighted to share with you PACE’s programme of unique and varied in-person creative performance experiences for ages 3-21.
Fest! is jam-packed with exciting performance courses; from classic to contemporary texts, devising, physical theatre, comedy and musicals. Every year more than 800 individual young people take part in 90+ holiday courses, where they make friends, take risks, learn new skills and make memories to last a lifetime.
Highlights include:
- new interpretations of classic texts including The Tempest, Animal Farm and Lord of the Flies
- comedy murder-mystery Murder on the Scotrail Express and Eurovision; The Missing Melody for those who like some light relief;
- musical showcases with themes inspired by the Animal Kingdom, School stories; gangsters on the run and perennial favourite Les Miserables;
- a celebration of some of our favourite writers such as Roald Dahl, Dr Seuss and Lemony Snickett;
- movie-inspired favourites including Encanto, Frozen, Inside Out, and Teen Beach Movie;
- and a series of creative play and storytelling sessions for Little Adventurers aged 3-5 years old featuring some well-loved and familiar tales!
