Cuddington Youth Drama have just returned from their first “tour” away from the village: a week-long run of performances of Fiddler on the Roof at theSpace @ Niddry Street in Edinburgh.
CYD principal Elaine English told the team “You all worked so hard! You notched up six performances at the venue, three on the stages of the Royal Mile, about ten at the campsite, and then you took it on yourselves to perform up and down Edinburgh streets as you handed fliers out. You have connected with strangers in ways you wouldn’t have dreamed of doing before. I am so deeply thrilled with how everyone grew, and grew, and grew.”
Sarah Chapman, mother of two CYD members, said “We had the vision and, with the dedication of a team of loving people, we gave each other an incredible experience and made a great show... What a huge privilege to have shared these days with them!”
