Youth Theatre
Want to create, watch and explore theatre? New Vic Youth Theatre could be for you! We offer weekly classes for 10-18 year olds developing theatrical skills, devising theatre, bringing scripts to life and performing pieces of theatre.
We run three 10 week terms from September to July.
Main Groups
These youth theatre groups focus on developing performance skills and having fun! Throughout the year we will devise theatre, create characters and bring scripts to life.
Autumn term will culminate in open sessions where parents and friends will be invited to the last session to see what each group has created. Summer term will conclude with all groups coming together for ‘Showback day’. All groups will perform their devised pieces in the auditorium on a Saturday in July.
