YOUTH THEATRE
We create performances in lots of ways including improvisation, movement and drama games and above all, we have fun!
We love working with young people who are keen to try out new challenges in a safe and supportive environment, ideal for encouraging creativity and social skills.
At the end of each term we invite family and friends to watch a showcase of our work.
