British Youth Music Theatre: The Naughty Carriage on the Orphan Train

Dundee Rep

Tay Square, Dundee, DD1 1PB

£12 – £16

The Naughty Carriage on the Orphan Train is based on the true story of orphans who were taken out of New York on trains and paraded in front of families for adoption; this version follows those who were not chosen and became the children of the Naughty Carriage.

This new music theatre show has been created by a team of professionals in collaboration with 40 young performers and musicians aged 11– 21. British Youth Music Theatre are excited to be performing in Dundee for the first time, with this story about belonging and finding your tribe.

It celebrates anarchic, individual, curious young people and those who are able to find and make their own version of family.

Come on board for glorious musical numbers, a thrilling story ride and a whole carriage of naughtiness!

Macrobert Youth Theatre: Midnight Library

This surreal new play invites audiences into a hidden world within an ordinary library, and what begins as an innocent search for a book becomes a journey through shadow, wonder, and dread where escape is never certain, and the stories may consume more than you bargain for.
