Youth Theatre

Come along, get involved, learn new skills & meet new people!

A fresh, new, innovative and relevant youth theatre company based at the iconic Royal Court Theatre designed by young people for young people.

NO FEE, NO AUDITION, NO WAITING LIST!

The Royal Court Youth Theatre delivers a range of opportunities free of charge for young people aged 11 – 17 from every part of the City.
