Theatr Felinfach Performing School will stage the musical 'Mimosa' at the end of October.

The production, written by Tim Baker and Dyfan Jones, tells the story of Welsh ancestors who emigrated to South America in 1865 on the Mimosa, a tea clipper from Liverpool Docks.

The musical will depict their journey and the challenges they faced in their quest for a better life.

Theatr Felinfach's senior creative officer and producer of the musical, Sioned Thomas, said: "We’re excited to stage the musical Mimosa.

"It’s a performance that will extend the members’ experience as they perform with a live band for the first time ever.

"We are extremely proud and grateful to be able to create a partnership with the Ceredigion Music Service to enhance their performance experience of performing a live musical and also bring the story of the Mimosa to life."

The performing arts school, which caters to young people aged seven to 18, provides an opportunity for members to participate in creative sessions, learn new skills, and gain confidence on stage.

The cast will perform alongside Ceredigion Music Service under the guidance of the music service manager, Dan Edwards-Phillips.

Mr Edwards-Phillips said: "The opportunity to work alongside Theatr Felinfach and unite brilliant young talent from Ceredigion is a special opportunity.

"I’m extremely thankful to Dwynwen and all the Theatr staff for reaching out to create a partnership and I’m excited to display something very special."

Councillor Catrin M S Davies, Ceredigion’s cabinet member for culture, leisure and customer services, said: "It’s going to be great to see Theatr Felinfach Performing School bring the musical ‘Mimosa’ to the stage.

"This production not only highlights the exceptional talents of our young people but also commemorates a significant part of our heritage.

"The story of the Mimosa and the journey undertaken by our ancestors is a powerful narrative and I encourage everyone to support our young performers and musicians - they are always fab."

Performances will take place on October 30 at 2pm and 6.30pm, and November 1 at 6.30pm.
