A Dover Town Council grant award of £1,000 has enabled Dover Youth Theatre to mount NEW HORIZONS a free weeklong Arts and Film Workshop in the town this August culminating in a free performance to the public on Thursday 24th August at 7.30pm in Dover Town Hall.
International award-winning Film Director Jan Dunn, Editor Tony Currell, West-End Musical Director Barney Ashworth (Mrs Henderson Presents, Sunny Afternoon, The Lion King) will join DYT Artistic Director Marie Kelly-Thomas, Director and Playwright Michael Thomas and Choreographer Tamzin Dunstone.

Meanwhile Deputy Mayor Councillor Roger Walkden and Deputy Mayoress Councillor Ann Jenner presented the Mayor of Dover’s Junior Dance award to Eva-Marie Yarrow and Senior Dance Award to Billy Baldwin during their end of term performance at the Roundhouse Theatre. Congratulations to Eva-Marie and Billy and all the young people who have worked so hard and achieved such a high standard of performance excellence.
