The Crescent Youth Theatre presents The Sad Club

Come along and join us as The Crescent Arts Youth Theatre presents The Sad Club by Luke Barnes, part of The National Theatre Connections Festival 2024. 

The Sad Club, directed by Andrea Grimason, is a musical about depression and anxiety. It’s a collection of monologues, songs and duologues from all over time and space exploring what about living in this world stops us from being happy and how we might go about tackling those problems.

We are all members, a universal club, a place where we all belong, but don't want to stay...

Each year Connections commissions new plays for young people to perform. The programme brings together some of the UK’s most exciting writers with the theatre-makers of tomorrow.

The Crescent Youth Theatre

The Crescent Youth Theatre was formed in 2013 and this will be the eighth time that the group has participated in the National Theatre’s Connections Festival. The group is made up of a diverse range of young people aged from 13 to 19, and since its founding has gone from strength to strength.

We’re excited about this play. Come and share it with us.
