Drama student appointed to national youth council

Leanna Horne is currently studying a BTEC National Diploma in Performing at North East Worcestershire College Bromsgrove, after which she hopes to go into writing professionally for the stage and screen.

She has been appointed to an influential body dedicated to broadening the range of young people’s theatre.  Arts Council England has set up a national youth council as part of a three-year programme to develop youth and participatory theatre in England.

Made up of 20 young people aged between 14 and 24, the national youth council is part of the Arts Council's Young People's Participatory Theatre project (YPPT), funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).
