We are delighted to be bringing back the Positive Stories Festivals building on the incredible success of Season 3 where over 300 young people performed their chosen plays at major theatres across Scotland. This Season promises even more and we are excited to present this year’s plays performed by Guild of Players, Catstrand, Wallace Hall Academy and a Scratch performance.

Positive Stories for Negative Times is an international participatory project offering organisations who work with young people a process, newly commissioned plays and training by the best theatre artists working in the UK free of charge.

Wonder Fools and the Traverse Theatre have presented four seasons of the project so far, reaching over 14,000 young people from 24 different countries including UK, South Africa, India, USA, Canada, Italy and Sweden.
