What can I expect from Growtheatre Youth Theatre?
During the course of each year, youth theatre members learn a whole host of drama, design, performance and outdoor skills. We foster a supportive, encouraging and fun atmosphere, which allows members to develop their confidence both as individuals and performers. Youth theatre members come to understand the importance of collaboration and creativity and are given many opportunities to take ownership of the creative process.
At some point in the year we work with each group to devise a piece of vibrant theatre that is, more often than not, performed in an outdoor location. We try to be responsive to each group’s needs when choosing the best time to do this, for instance our Senior members have told us that they prefer to avoid the Summer Term when they have exams.
Where, when and who?
We are based at J.G. Graves Woodland Discovery Centre, Ecclesall Woods, Sheffield. Growtheatre Youth Theatre runs in term times and offers sessions on Tuesday and Thursday. We run 3 age groups for young people, please see below for details:
