A GROUP of Tavistock College students who have set up a theatre company shared their first production in the Play Station Studio theatre at the school last week.

The 9th Degree Theatre Company, established by Year 12 students at the college, sets out to ‘tell old tales to new folk’ and launched their company with their self-created piece ‘Mythfits’. 

The piece of musical theatre was entirely crafted by the students with each taking on performance roles as well as marketing, script writing, costume and stage management.

Head of creative arts at the college, Eva Pearson, said: ‘I’m so impressed by their creative work ethic, they have tirelessly improvised, scripted, choreographed, composed and created a hugely enjoyable, very funny community piece.

‘I can’t wait to see what they go on to do after such a promising start!’ 

The company’s next venture will see them reworking some classic scripts in the summer.
