Flying High
Meet every Wednesday night from 7pm to 8 pm at Newton Aycliffe Youth Centre.MAD Productions is a group of ordinary people, looking to make things extraordinary for young people in and around the town of Newton Aycliffe. The aim of MAD Productions is to give young people a place of safety to meet and enjoy drama, singing and dancing. The young people are currently working with Shirley a RADAR, trained teacher who is using her own unique skills to develop and bring out confidence in these young people to enable them to perform in a way they would never have thought possible. So if you are between 8 and 18 and are interested in the arts why not come along and see for yourself. The President of MAD Productions Sonia Scott, who as a matter of fact is in her 15th year of working with MAD Productions said “ It is amazing to see the young people developing in skill and confidence and enjoying themselves at the same time”. During her time with MAD Productions Sonia has lost count of the number of children who have come through the doors but she is now seeing some of the young people with children of her own.
