From 2008 to 2015 Neon was Zest's youth theatre programme for young people in Lincolnshire.

After 7 amazing years Neon closed in June 2015. In that time we created 10 original stage shows and 2 short films that we are amazingly proud of! The impact that this project is clear to see through the quality of the shows we produced. Take a look at all these productions below:
