Last night, Growtheatre’s Senior Group took to the stage for a special Playback Theatre Night, and what a night it was! They explored the many forms of Playback Theatre, improvising performances based on real stories shared by the audience. With a mix of humour, sincerity, and creativity, they brought these stories to life in a […]

Held at the Pavilion in Hillsborough Park, the course brought together children aged 6–12 for three days of festive fun, creative exploration, and a healthy dose of panto magic.

As we reach the end of another term, we’re thrilled to reflect on the incredible progress made by all our Youth Theatre groups. This term has been a true celebration of creativity, collaboration, and courage. Every group has worked hard to develop their skills, get to know each other, and gel as a team. But what stands out the most is the fantastic work shared at our end-of-term events – a true showcase of the talent, imagination, and bravery that each group brought to the table.
One of the best things about leading a Youth Theatre group is having the absolute privilege of watching children and young people grow into amazing young adults. I want to give a HUGE shout out to our volunteer Zak who has dedicated himself and his free time to Growtheatre Thursday Juniors for the past 3 years. He is a brilliant member of our team and all the Juniors adore him!

People have mixed feelings about Halloween – some people love it and some seem to loathe it. I always look forward to the October half term and hosting our Halloween Family Adventure. The woods in autumn time are so stunning and it feels like no better place to be to have some fun with witches,
September to October is one of my favourite Half Terms as we start getting those darker nights, the colder mornings and we can start being creative in the Autumnal weather! This Half Term has not disappointed and we have seen some incredible work as always from all 4 groups! As this was my last term
