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.

If you are interested in a career in the arts or just looking for something to do, come along to one of our sessions or workshops. You will learn about everything from acting to stage management; fundraising to writing scripts. Here at the Royal Court we only offer work experience to members of our Youth Theatre so if you are already a member and this is of interest then email the Youth Theatre Coordinator on the email provided below.

Classes

Saturday: 10am – 1pm Ages 14 – 17
