People involved in the Shout! Youth Theatre group between 1998 and 2018 are being invited to a reunion this month and to take part in a new play.

The group hopes to to bring all the former members of Shout! Youth Theatre together to celebrate their past successes and put together a new play about their 20-year history.

Members will also interview former members of ‘Shout!’ to create an oral history archive of their experiences, create a book of scripts containing 50 plays and put on an exhibition at the Corby Heritage Centre.

Organiser Paula Boulton said: "After the reunion we will invite people to be involved in making a new play about our 20-year history and invite anyone who would like to be interviewed to come forward and tell us how their lives have developed."

The free-of-charge reunion takes place at the Corby Old Village Community Centre at 6.30pm on Saturday, November 23. Anyone who would like to come along can e-mail Jen at [email protected]
