"I used to find it quite hard to make friends, but here - they've really helped build my confidence, which is so important." For Bethany Freeman, joining a theatre group has meant so much more than getting to perform on stage.
Bethany, 19, from Milford Haven, has Down's Syndrome. She's a member of the Hijinx Theatre group and this weekend will get to perform at Wales Millennium Centre for Hijinx's latest production, the_crash.test (The Crash Test).
Joining the group hasn't just given her a chance to act, but some really practical things too through Hijinx she has received professional training in acting, dance, playback theatre and acting for camera and now can read and learn scripts with a little bit of help. "I really enjoy dancing and roleplay," she said. "We have a schedule and a plan that we follow from day to day basis. It's been a lot of fun," she said.
