Originally founded in January 2008 by young people in Leamington
looking for performance opportunity, the group enjoyed such success
with their first two productions (Citizenship by Mark
Ravenhill and Chatroom by Enda Walsh, performed at the
Loft Theatre and at Kingsley School in the spring and summer of 2008),
that it was invited to become an integral part of the Loft Theatre
Company’s wide-ranging artistic activities.
Subsequent performances have included several short entertainments
performed as Loft Extras in the Douglas Ford Studio following shows in
the main house.
In March 2009, as part of the Loft’s scheduled season of
productions, the group presented a full-length evening in the studio
comprising a double bill of one-act plays –
Burn and
Sparkleshark.
This was followed in March 2010 with another double bill –
Daughters
of Albion and
The
Musicians.
