Youth Theatre

Build your confidence and communication skills in a place where you can explore and discuss issues that are relevant to you

Coronavirus/COVID-19 Due to the most recent Government announcement, our in-person workshops have been suspended for the rest of this term. If you're interested in joining us in the New Year, please drop us an email.

Our youth theatre at Shalford Village Hall in Guildford is for young people aged 13 and over. Workshops help develop skills that will benefit young people as they prepare for their future lives, beyond school and college.

​

We use our 30 years experience to create a careful balance of a safe place, that incorporates challenge and structure with freedom, that enhances emotional well-being. Workshops give teenagers the opportunity to be creative and express themselves in a fun, safe, family environment, helping them to cope with the pressures of growing up in today's world. ​

​

Workshops include a regular mix of improvisation, script work, role-play, drama exercises and games. Our workshops are above all, fun!​

​

Members of our youth theatre also have the opportunity to take part in our two fully staged shows each year in Guildford, as well as informal end-of-term performances. There's also the chance to take nationally recognised exams, with Trinity College.​

​

Once or twice a year we aim to see live theatre, either locally or in London. We feel that it's important for everyone to experience the thrill of seeing actors live.

​

Our uniform is a zip-up hoodie, that you can even personalise with your name on the back.
