ALL the world has been a stage for youngsters at The Rock.

Young people with the youth project, based in Tewkesbury Road, have been working with actors from the Everyman Theatre's practitioner's lab.

As well as going behind the scenes at the theatre, they spent their time in workshops as they showcased their talents.

Space was created at St Peter's Church in Cheltenham in 2011 when the pews were removed.

Members of The Rock used the area to put on a show involving a plate-dancing unicyclist and an obstacle course completed by someone riding a tiny clown bike.

Communications and fundraising manager, Emily Van Der Lely said: "It has been a challenge motivating the young people at times during this Everyman Theatre project.

"But I was so proud of the young people today.

"They put their nerves and inhibitions to one side and had the courage to perform to some complete strangers.

"The young people left clutching their Oscars kindly given by the Oldham Foundation so they were just as proud of themselves.

"The young people will remember this day for the rest of their lives."
