| The Edinburgh Festival
Fringe Junior Press gang is a unique opportunity for
young people in schools across Edinburgh to see a showcase
of Fringe Performances for Children in advance of the
Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August.
The Evening News is the Media partner for the project
and the Bank of Scotland are sponsors for the project.
The Junior Press Gang has chosen three companies to
take part in the project and perform an excerpt from
their show twice daily in 10 schools across Edinburgh
during the week Monday 2nd to Friday 6th June 2008.
Pupils will then be supported to take part in a review-writing
project and competition with winners' reviews being
published in the Evening News.
The three selected companies will each perform an excerpt
from their Fringe 2008 show. Each excerpt will be of
10 to 15 minutes duration and include a short introduction
and summation at the start and finish. These will create
a show of about 1 hour's duration creating and exciting
and diverse example of the wonderful things happening
at the Fringe this summer. |
