Wycombe Summer Youth Project 2014

Some of you may know I took part in the Wycombe Summer Youth Project of Grease this year. It was my first project and I was really excited to start rehearsals on 27th July. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there as everyone in the cast was so nice and it was great to be surrounded by people who loved musical theatre like me. I would like to share with you some of the things we did and tell you a little bit more about the project.

The Wycombe Summer Youth Project

The project takes place during the first two weeks of the summer holidays and at the end of the two weeks you perform several shows at the Wycombe Swan. Auditions are held in April and there are opportunities to be principal parts, feature dancers or in the ensemble. The show is always a musical and is great for anyone who wants to go into the industry or just loves doing it as a hobby. There is some waiting around for the ensemble however I think everyone would agree that it was all worth it when the shows came around. It is available to anyone between the ages of 9 and 19 for a small price of £150. I think it is definitely worth it and gives you something to look forward to in summer.

Grease 2014

Grease is an amazing show with lots of fantastic songs that everyone already knew. I went to the auditions not knowing anybody except my brother, who didn't really want to hang out with his little sister. However by the end of the project I have made so many new friends who I look forward to seeing again next year. The standard of the show was extremely high and everyone who came to see it thought it was really professional and all our hard work shone through. 

I would like to thank everyone at the project for giving me the opportunity to take part and for all my friends there who made the two weeks special. I still miss the cast and can't wait for next year!!
