The ‘Apprenticed Actors Company’ return with a new play by Whitehaven writer, Alex Mullarky, winner of the ‘New Lines’ playwriting competition.

In a remote ruined church in West Cumbria, 4 teenagers meet up to drink lager, mess about and talk about the future. Avery plans to be an artist, Laurie needs a job, Adam hopes to join the army and Chris just wants to fit in.

Then 2 things happen which change their world, something right there in the ruins and something 3,567 miles away.

Come and watch Barrow’s brightest young actors perform a brand new play by a rising Cumbrian star.

'BEYOND THE TREES' by Sarah Miller and Barrow Junior Youth Theatre.

A game of hide and seek in the forest. An old house, the furniture covered in dust sheets. A secret door and beyond the trees, a silent pond where a boy sits fishing.

What is that noise? Is it just the wind in the trees?

A chilly mystery.

'SEEING THINGS' By Sarah Miller and Barrow Senior Youth Theatre 1

Felicitiy’s Nanna Rita is out on the estate and she’s started seeing things.

A heart-warming story about home, community and the generations.
