November and December are proving a busy time for young people involved with Firefly Youth

Theatre.

This young production company draws members from across West Lothian. Following the success

of Dracula earlier in the year, they’ve applied their innovative blend of British Sign Language and

physical theatre to a production of The Fiend, which played to a packed house at the Edinburgh

Story-telling Centre earlier this month. Filmed on the day by the BBC, you can catch a clip of their

performance BBC 2’s See Hear programme at 1pm on Wednesday 30th November.

Firefly’s young performers also played a key role at this year’s Guid Scratch event at Howden Park

Centre in Livingston, presenting a vibrant mix of new writing, music and performance and a unique

opportunity to showcase emerging talent.

Firefly drama leaders work with a number of partner organisations across West Lothian, and

were delighted to be invited by Pinewood school to support their pupils in a production of the

Tempest for the Shakespeare Schools Festival. Many congratulations to the cast for an outstanding

performance which brought the house down at the Churchill Theatre in Edinburgh.

And there’s still time to catch the Firefly Winter Festival on Friday 9th and Saturday 10th December

at the Howden Park Centre in Livingston, presenting 3 new works by Firefly performers from

Livingston, Bathgate and Linlithgow

Firefly Arts run theatre skills, drama and film activity for children and young people across West

Lothian. For more information on our weekly workshop programme, holiday activity, training and
