Thank you to everyone involved over the three years for their support especially our cast & crew for all their hard work.
Pierrots?
The Bridlington Buttercups were a modernised Pierrot Troupe based on those which disappeared just before the Second World War. Pierrots dressed in black and white costumes and entertained audiences of holiday makers and residents alike on the beaches of Bridlington and other seaside resorts. They performed a mixture of songs, dances, sketches, monologues and jokes throughout the summer months.
The Bridlington Buttercups Pierrots performed in Bridlington, East Yorkshire in the summers of 2002, 2003 and 2004.
About Us
All the cast of the Bridlington Buttercups were members of Migrant Youth Theatre.
These modernised Pierrot shows were researched, written, directed and produced by two Bridlington teenagers, initially as part of their Platinum Youth Achievement Award in 2002 . See our Behind the Scenes page.
