Free of charge as part of The London Summer Uni, young people can join Arc in making a brand new, scary piece of theatre for performance at The Malthouse Studios in Barking.

Taking our inspiration from the likes of ‘The Twilight Saga' by Stephenie Meyer, you will be part of a dynamic team who will, in just one week, create and perform a unique theatrical experience involving film, live action and music.
