COME AND CREATE WITH US!
Youth Theatre at Theatre Royal is for ANYONE and EVERYONE with an interest in theatre, writing, creating, or simply to make new friends. No experience is necessary, just come along and get stuck in!
These are the only groups in the local area to be based around a working professional theatre, which means you get to learn from practitioners with industry experience, helping you to grow in confidence and become an all-round better performer.
“I LOVE YOUTH THEATRE BECAUSE I CAN HAVE TIME WITH MY FRIENDS AND WE PLAY GREAT GAMES. WE ALSO GET A LOT OF EXPERIENCE AND IT IS ALL SO FUN!”
– Iris, Aged 12, Participant.
