Young Producers

For Little Earthquake
In partnership with Black Country Touring

Over one academic year, 100 pupils in five Black Country primary schools became Young Producers, working with Little Earthquake and Black Country Touring to create a brand-new piece of theatre for family audiences: The Boy Who Became A Beetle.

The Young Producers were involved in every element of the theatre-making process: from developing the show idea, through to recruiting the cast and creative team, contributing ideas for the design and music, and, finally, to hosting and promoting a performance in each of their own schools as part of its initial tour.
