The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the return of the Clacks Youth Theatre, which restarted on 19 August 2024, providing opportunities for children between 10 and 18 years old; understands that the theatre, which is provided by Ochils Youth Community Improvement (OYCI), runs on Tuesdays at the Bowmar Community Centre, Alloa, from 7.00pm to 8.30pm and also on Fridays, from 4.30pm to 6.00pm, at the Ben Cleuch Centre in Tillicoultry; notes that the Clacks Youth Theatre runs throughout the school year, pausing during the summer holidays, and arranges drama games, confidence builders and team activities during each session; further notes that it also usually works towards a big performance at the end of the year and that the sessions are led by the pupils themselves; understands that, in the past, it has put on a murder mystery show, which was described by those attending as much fun, and that it has also received guest artists in to lead the group; considers that the OYCI offers a wide range of other free activities, for any young people who are not keen on theatre and performances; commends the OYCI for what it sees as its sterling endeavours towards the furtherment of the arts and culture, as well as to building confidence and the abilities of young people who attend, and wishes everyone involved all the very best for the Clacks Youth Theatre’s continued success.
