Call out for actors for Theatr Iolo’s next production, The Welsh Dragon

Theatr Iolo are still seeking one performer for an upcoming tour of The Welsh Dragon, written by Kyle Lima and directed by Ewa Dina. Designed by Kyle Legall, Lighting Design by Katy Morison and Composed by Eadyth Crawford.

For ages 7-13 year olds, The Welsh Dragon features music, rap, and a historical twist. This bold new play for children explores Britain’s black ancestry, challenging us to question the stories that have been handed down from generation to generation. You can find out more about the show here; https://www.theatriolo.com/welsh-dragon-1
