Theatre group relaunch themselves in style

Last week, Weird Arts Lab celebrated their Launch as a new Community Interest Company with a Halloween themed party for students and families, marking an exciting transition from Savoy Youth Theatre. Whilst the name has changed, its commitment to providing an inclusive, accessible, safe space for students to explore the creative arts remains their most important mission.

The venue was transformed into a spooky haunted house complete with pumpkins, flickering candlelight and even an autopsy suite! Guests were invited to watch a student made film, before taking part in an immersive installation performance, to discover who killed Humpty Dumpty!

Led by directors Sam Densham, Michaela Rawsthorne, and Junior Mujica. Weird Arts Lab says “ We provide accessible and inclusive professional arts training while supporting mental health and building confidence and self-esteem. With youth groups running in Monmouth and Abergavenny, an emerging film group, and newly launched adult drama sessions. By stepping into this new chapter, we hope that we can honor that incredible legacy and will have a much firmer footing to enable us to offer even more, ensuring that they can continue to support, empower, and inspire”.
