Hello! We are the HAC Youth Theatre and we’re really happy to introduce you to the shows and classes that happen here. We are a brilliant drama group that children can join; it is fun and full of games! We change our personalities to act as other characters and we get to go on stage and be seen by other people. We start with a topic and then make a play from our own thoughts. If you are 7-11 and would like a new hobby then you should join us; everyone here thinks it’s fun! It’s much better than staying at home and watching cartoons.

Before you do anything else go and look at the fantastic family section which has workshops related to wonderful kids films and afternoon workshops in art and animation for 7-11 year olds too. The Music For Youth Festival is a great opportunity for people who like music and have an ambition to perform. It is especially for people under 21, so if you are a young person it is a chance to show off your talents! Harrow Arts Centre is a special place with lots happening, so if you want a break from work, to be creative and to meet new people, you should come to our Harrow Arts Centre and have lots of fun!

Best days of your life. Right? Declaring war on the girl stealing your best friend, striking a pose to Vogue, realising you’re gay and falling in love, facing rejection. But one day you’ll be happy in your own skin, laughing about pouring your heart onto a tear stained page. Maybe...

As the Iron Lady stands and the Iron Curtain falls, Hayley, her Dad and best friend Debbie struggle to find their way in an ever changing world. Inspired by a true story, and set to a soundtrack of 80s and 90s guilty pleasures, re-capture your youth with this honest look at the world through teenage eyes.

Persuasion

Beautifully romantic, touchingly funny and often unbearably poignant, Austen’s most personal novel is brought to the stage. Anne Elliot and Frederick Wentworth were once hopelessly in love. Persuaded by her family that he is not of her standing, she ends their engagement and he leaves for the sea. Anne soon realises her mistake and spends the next eight years regretting her decision. The now wealthy Wentworth returns to seek a wife. Treating Anne with cold indifference, she can only watch as he courts another. But will he ever forgive her?

Film: Academy Award Winners

From the Golden Age of cinema The African Queen is a truly magnificent film adapted from a novel by C.S. Forester. Starring Humphrey Bogart in his Oscar-winning portrayal of Charlie Allnut, the slovenly, gin-swilling captain of a tramp steamer called the African Queen, which ships supplies to small East African villages during World War I. Katharine Hepburn plays Rose Sayer, the maiden-lady sister of a prim British missionary (Robert Morley).

The French Riviera, two luminous stars (Grace Kelly and Cary Grant) and the Master of Suspense, Alfred Hitchcock, behind the camera. They all add up to one romantic, dazzling screen thriller.

But when a new rash of gem thefts occurs amongst the luxury hotels of the spectacular French playground, it appears that ‘The Cat’ is on the prowl once again.
