Youth Theatre Keep On Creating

Working from home has never felt so fun! We were really disappointed that we couldn’t share our Youth Theatre performances this year but we didn’t want to let all the young people’s hard work go to waste. Our groups have been meeting weekly over Zoom, keeping creative and connected. Our younger groups have created music videos for their original songs from their plays and our older groups have turned their pieces into radio plays! We’ve had a great time making them and seeing the young people each week.

What's Bugging You? View

‘Under a rock or by a small pond, bugs are buzzing just where they belong…..’

Ever wondered what all the bugs and creepy crawlies get up to when you’re not looking? That’s exactly what our 8-11’s T group have been exploring in their sessions! It’s been lots of fun and there are loads of brilliant homemade costumes.

8-11’s W Youth Theatre presents

Planet B View

‘There is no second chance, there is no Planet B….’

Our 8-11’s W group have been exploring climate change and what we can do to help our planet. Of course, the group wanted to put their own spin on it so it has culminated in an epic Rock Opera style performance!

The Game Listen 

Are you contributing to society? Doing your bit for Climate Change? Keeping up with all the latest Tik Tok dances? Drinking enough water? Revising for your exams? Being a good friend? Wearing the latest trainers? Are you talented? Going to change the world? If you’re not you might find yourself at the bottom of the leader board, being entered into a game you didn't ask to play. 

The Game explores the everyday pressures that young people face, the overwhelming bombardment of information we receive daily in modern life and what happens if we’re just pretty average.
