Youth theatre companies from across south Wales will take over the Sherman this spring as part of National Theatre’s Connections festival.
National Theatre Connections is a vibrant showcase of original theatre and young creative talent. Nine talented local youth theatre companies will take to the Main House stage to bring new plays by award-winning playwrights to life.
Alongside the Connections plays, Sherman Youth Theatre return with their production of The Blunder Games by Ffion King and will be joined by Hijinx Theatre who’ll bring a new, original production to life.
Join us for a 3-day festival brimming with passion, delight and wonder!
