Welcome Back!

We hope you've all had a fantastic Christmas and New Year!

2011 was a fantastic year for all involved with us here at Big & Blue Stage. There were lot's of fantastic performances from our youngsters. Our annual Summer production Wind in the Willows, an outdoor performance was a roaring success. A massive thank you to all involved. Check out our gallery page soon as all the pictures from last years shows will be up for you to see!

Another great highlight of the year was the CLASH OF THE TITANS II casting for Warner Brothers starring Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes.
Our boys were given the chance to audition for the role of Helius after a top london Casting director Dixie Chassay (Harry Potter, Atonement to name a few!) contacted us at Big Stage to meet our youngsters and audition them for the role of Helius. Dixie and her team travelled up from London to exclusively audition our boys! It was a great day for us all and Dixie and her team were really impressed with the talent we have here at Big & Blue Stage! Lots of contacts were made - watch this space we could have a new Hollywood star on our hands!

2012 is another exiting year ahead. We kick start the year with our showcase performances taking place at Theatre Clwyd Cymru Mold!

Previous Achievements
Outstanding Youth Performance

A great success for the group earlier in the year was at the CCTA (Clwyd Community Theatre Association Festival). Each piece was adjudicated by David Hedley Williams GODO and Blue Stage performing arts won the award for Outstanding Youth Performance. The criteria for the awards were presentation, endeavour, production, originality, acting and theatrical attainment. The youth groups were also encouraged to use contrasting theatre styles and participate both on and off stage.

There were also awards given for the one act play, stage management, best individual performance and the adjudicators special award. There were thirteen entries for the One Act Play award.

The winning piece was devised around our town - Buckley and was written by Big Stage founder Rebecca Stanton and Stephanie Scott and was performed by members of Blue Stage. The piece explored Buckley from past to present and incorporated multi-media and a black and white silent movie which was especially produced for the show.

The piece was later repeated at the Emlyn Williams Theatre at Theatre Clwyd after several requests.

A special thanks to Buckley Society for all the images and slides we used in the piece.

Flash Attack

The piece was written for the opening of the Buckley Flash project. The area, known locally as the 'Flash' has been transformed into a community garden and park thanks to the work of local residents and other groups. Situated next to Bistre Church, the 'Flash' previously suffered vandalism and anti-social behaviour. It also lacked in play facilities for children, families and young people. The area now hosts a park with excellent facilities for children, a Remembrance Garden and in the future, A MUGA (multi-use games area) will be created.

The piece was performed outside in the flash area for over three hundred audience members during the official opening hosted by Dr Brian Gibbons, Assembly Minister for Social Justice and Local Government. With only two weeks to put the piece together, the group tell the story of the area through the use of puppets.

Due to the success of the performance, Blue Stage have been requested to perform the piece again in Cardiff for the Welsh Assembly Government. They will be the first Youth Group from North Wales to perform at the conference which i'm sure you'll agree is excellent news.
