"Genesis" Coming to Town
"Genesis" a musical play created by the Darling Downs Youth Theatre is coming to Pittsworth.
Over the past months forty young people aged between 14 and 18 years have been working with a small professional theatre staff from the Queensland Theatre Company on "Genesis" which will play at the Pittsworth Town Hall on Saturday, May 28.
Participants in the youth theatre production have come from Warwick, Clifton, Pittsworth, Oakey, Toowoomba and other centres on the Downs.
The young people have written it, directed it and composed the music and songs and designed the sets.
There are costumes made from knitted baling twin and macrame and bunya nuts. There are masks made from paper mache and paper mosaic, so the show promises to be unique.
The Queensland Theatre Company has mounted the Darling Downs Youth Theatre as a pilot scheme for the further development of regional youth theatre throughout Queensland.
It is first production of its kind in Australia.
The young people from the Youth Theatre will be in Pittsworth during the week before Saturday, May 28 to set up the lighting for the show and all the work involved in getting ready for the performance will be done by the young people themselves.
