The Fountain of Natural Youth was a joint educational project between the world famous Natural Theatre Company and New Old Friends. The project was a youth theatre for children aged 11-15 who wanted a chance to learn, and perform in, the Natural’s trademark style.

The group was led by New Old Friends’ Feargus Woods Dunlop and Heather Westwell, both of whom have performed with the Natural Theatre Company in Britain and across the world. The pair brought some of New Old Friends’ comic energy to the group who responded with and incredible piece of proscessional street theatre.

The project is continuing solely under the guidance of NTC but with Heather & Fearg remaining at the helm. New Old Friends is developing its own educational projects and the Spring 2011 tour of Sketchy at Best is being accompanied in some theatres by a two hour comedy workshop.
