We have a highly dedicated and fully qualified team of teachers with a wide range of experience, covering many genres and styles, to pass on to the students. Youth Theatre is a member of the National Association of Youth Theatres and has performed at the Regional Youth Theatre Festival.

Our aim

Our aim is to develop articulate, confident, well rounded individuals with a wealth of experience to take into their futures.

We aim to offer students the opportunity to further advance their skills and to experience training in all aspects of theatre craft, including:

• Acting: Scripted plays from Greek Theatre up to the present day.
• Devised Drama
• Musical Theatre: Vocal techniques and creative movement
• Technical Stagecraft: Sound, lighting, production, direction, set design and make up
• Physical Theatre
• Playwriting

Skills workshops

We offer Skills Workshops from professional practitioners. Recent workshops have included:

Theatre trips

We offer students Theatre visits. Past visits have included Wicked and Hairspray as well as more local productions at the Royal and Derngate.
