Interplay Youth Theatre
Interplay runs a free and inclusive youth theatre programme for all abilities on a Thursday evening during term time.
What happens at Youth Theatre?
Young people will develop performance skills, theatre techniques, confidence and meet likeminded people. Making creative work that represents their experiences, their stories, and their interests in a supportive and fun group environment. At Interplay we aim for all young people to see themselves as artists and values the voice of every young person.
A standard youth theatre session includes a warmup activity, skills development, and a creative task which are tailored to the terms theme. Participants will be able to watch performances by visiting companies and take part in sharing’s and performance of their own work in our beautiful theatre space.
