About
Each group works on a range of skills and subjects, using theatre to tell stories, share ideas, and change the world. You'll create original work, explore new ideas, and develop your knowledge about theatre making.
All participants get to perform in our annual Youth Arts Festival presented in the Round, and members get to audition for the annual Youth Theatre production, presented in the McCarthy Theatre.
All Youth Theatre members also receive a number of free tickets to see work at the Stephen Joseph Theatre.
We take on new people at the start of every term. If you're interested in joining our Youth Theatre at the start of next term, drop us a line on [email protected].
