MY son is a member of the Swindon Youth Theatre (part of Sixth Sense Theatre Company) who will be performing Children of the Blitz by Julia Birley on Thursday and Saturday this week at the Swindon College.
I have watched him grow in confidence and seen his acting and social skills improve within this dynamic group.
Mark, Fiona and David from Sixth Sense have given so much time and talent to these youngsters and I hope that the audiences will flock to see them perform.
However, we need to ensure that such groups have the necessary funding and support from the council, and the people of Swindon, to keep growing and producing ever better works.
It does not matter whether Swindon gains city status but we must ensure that our talented future generations can go out into the world speaking proudly of their home town, their actions will lift the name of Swindon out of the comedy sketches and into the limelight!
