Youth Theatre gets set to travel to India
A delegation of young performers will be travelling to India next month as the only representatives from the West Indies to attend the eighth children World Festival of Performing Arts.

The country will be represented by the National Youth Theatre under the direction of Eustace Simon.

Simon said that many applications were entered from youth theatre companies around the world.

“Thirty foreign groups were chosen and Antigua and Barbuda’s qualifying video was the only one from the West Indies that was accepted,” a press release stated.

Simon said it was therefore a great honour for Antigua and Barbuda to attend since he sees it as the National Youth Theatre going onto a world stage to represent the West Indies.
