Jane Walters has been successfully running the RDG Youth Workshop for several years. The format is usually a series of Sunday afternoon drama workshops, leading towards an entry in the two One Act Drama Festivals in October.

In the past, the Youth Workshop, consisting of young people from around the ages of 10 - 21, have had much success at these festivals, gaining high praise for the emsemble work of the performances and being awarded many trophies. See the entries under 'Interview', 'The Pilgrimage' and 'Find Me'.

This year, a new and exciting venture sees the Workshop members developing their own script through the workshop sessions. The theme is communication, or lack of it, through the modern methods of mobile phones, texting and chat rooms.

The performance at Woking Festival was highly praised by the adjudicator and the production achieved two awards (best youth production and best lighting) also collecting five nominations for: Adjudicator's Award (for the creativity of the production) Best Director - Jane Walters Best Junior Player - Megan Pike Technical Excellence Sound Award
