EDINBURGH FRINGE
Hello, I'm Tristan and I am one of six Light UP students from the 13-19 group who is taking part in the play 'Chatroom'. We rehearse on a Monday evening at Abshot Community centre. The play 'Chatroom' is about six teenagers who talk on a Chatroom but they never meet - one character is suffering from depression and he wants to commit suicide. Throughout the play, he gets bullied by two other characters, who are encouraging him to take his life for their entertainment. Light UP wanted to put on this play to make people aware about online bullying.
On the 30th March, we permed this play at the Totton Festival Theater, this was an incredible experience for us all as it was our first time taking part in a competition. It was also our first time getting feedback after we performed by an adjudicator. We were all very thankful for this opportunity.
Light UP was then asked if we would perform 'Chatroom' at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August. We are all very excited and would love to take part in the Fringe Festival this year. This is an amazing opportunity for us and we can't wait. Lets Light UP the Fringe!
