Two of our foster carers’ children, Franki and Mia (both 16), belong to the Thameside Young Producers group at Thameside Theatre, Thurrock. The group produce a number of shows during the year and on Saturday 28th November they produced the Starmaker Talent Show 2015, a talent show for young people in the Thurrock area.
Franki is the Lead Producer of the project, which enables young people aged 13-19 to learn to produce an event from the initial concept, design, budgeting and marketing to the final show seen by the public.
Des Walsh, Registered Manager at Young People at Heart, said it was wonderful to see so many young people, aged between 7 and 18, taking part in the production which involved 24 different acts in the talent competition and two musical tributes performed by the Young Producers. He congratulated Franki and her team on producing the event which was enjoyed by our foster carers and young people who attended and he thanked the Thameside Theatre management team and Thurrock Council for making such a worthwhile project available to young people.
