Youth Theatre
We run 10 sessions per term throughout the year for young people aged 7-19.
Our weekly sessions are all about fun, good energy and enthusiasm, paired with high quality training and experiences. Working with professional artists each term, Youth Theatre members will learn new skills, from games and improvisation, to script work and puppetry.
It’s a great opportunity to make new friends, develop confidence and experience some incredible opportunities on our stages and beyond.
