This event aims to nurture and raise the profile of young people's performance work. Over the last 6 years a student company supervised by CTC has written, directed and performed new work at The Mill. 

Cherwell Theatre, in collaboration with The Mill, have developed this into an annual drama festival for young adults. Young people from Oxfordshire are invited to submit scripts for stage performance and selected ones are staged during the festival. 

The productions involve students of music, drama, dance, directing, set, costume and lighting design working under professional supervision. CTC is committed to expanding the size of the festival in response to its increasing popularity. Since 2007 the festival has broadened its category to film, animation, performance poetry, and inter-disciplinary installations.
