“If the enjoyment of the audience, who were there in large numbers, translates into a financial success this is no more than Young Expressions deserves. This was a very enjoyable production. Congratulations.“

We are a youth theatre group based in Ingatestone, Essex. We make it possible for young people to get together to stage popular musicals in a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere.
Young Expressions perform musical theatre productions twice each year – a pantomime at Christmas and a musical in the summer. Our shows take place at the Ingatestone and Fryerning Community Association hall, on their well equipped stage.
The group is run and managed by a committee of parents who give their time to make sure this unique group and opportunity is available for our children. We bring in people to direct and produce the shows and, although we are not a drama school, our cast members learn from these people and from each other. The whole idea of Young Expressions is for cast members to have fun and the chance to do something different, although it does help with confidence. We welcome new members between the ages of 8 and 14. If you are interested in joining Young Expressions please email Jenny Fowle using the “contact us “ link. Please provide your name, address, telephone number and the name plus date of birth of the child wishing to join the group - children younger that 8 can still be put on the waiting list and we will contact you when they are old enough to join. Once we receive your email we will contact you. We would like to support Ingatestone Musical & Operetta Group (IMOG) who will be performing....
