Les Miserables (School edition)
25th - 28th March 2026
Les Misérables is the world’s longest running musical — a true modern classic based on Victor Hugo's novel and featuring one of the most memorable scores of all time. Epic, grand and uplifting, Les Misérables School Edition packs an emotional wallop that has thrilled audiences all over the world.
In nineteenth century France, Jean Valjean is released from years of unjust imprisonment, but finds nothing in store for him but mistrust and mistreatment. He breaks his parole in hopes of starting a new life, initiating a lifelong struggle for redemption as he is relentlessly pursued by police inspector Javert, who refuses to believe Valjean can change his ways. Finally, during the Paris student uprising of 1832, Javert must confront his ideals after Valjean spares his life and saves that of the student revolutionary who has captured the heart of Valjean's adopted daughter.

BCMCS Youth
BCMCS Youth Theatre is for children and young people of ages ranging from 10 to 18 years, and has two very simple aims:
– To introduce young people to the world of theatre.
– To give young people a worthwhile and enjoyable hobby.
The members are trained by experienced adults in general stagecraft, acting, singing, movement and dance, and during the show are usually accompanied by a small orchestra, with professional lighting and sound. There is no audition to join the Youth Theatre, although auditions are normally held for those interested in taking principal roles in the show. There is a membership fee to be paid by members. The amount of this depends on the cost of the performing license of the show being presented, the anticipated costs of staging it, insurance, and the hire of rehearsal premises.
The adults in charge are mindful of the need for a secure environment for young people. Their welfare and safety are ensured as far as is reasonably and humanly possible.
Each year the Youth Theatre performs a musical show in March or April. Rehearsals are held at Bolton Parish Church hall, Silverwell Street, Bolton between 6.45 pm and 8.30 pm on Wednesday evenings, beginning in mid–September. Parents or guardians are responsible for the prompt arrival and collection of their children, although no child will ever be left unattended.
The rehearsal premises are warm, bright and friendly with ample car parking space and refreshments are always available.
Youth Theatre members gain in confidence, make new friends, learn a lot about stage-work, and generally have a lot of fun! Many have moved on to take principal roles in the society’s Musical and Choral works, and others are learning the arts of Production, Choreography and Musical Direction. Some have taken up Drama at college and even entered the professional world!
Most will find a hobby for life, so why not give it a try!
