Youth Theatre future shows and workshops

Our next production will be ‘DNA’ and ‘It Snows’, to be performed from 19 to 23 March . Rehearsals will be a mix of daytimes and evenings; a detailed rehearsal schedule will be provided at the start of rehearsals.

Following the March production, there will be a musical in August which this year will be Sweeny Todd.  As well as stage productions, we also run regular performance-based workshops, sometimes with professional actors, always with experienced workshop facilitators.

 

Youth Theatre and The Pantomime

The SDC pantomime provides an opportunity for Youth Theatre members to work alongside experienced musicians, directors and choreographers.

This year’s panto – Snow White – will be cast during September so there will be opportunities for you to be part of this production. Please contact us for more information and how to apply.

Youth Theatre Spring Productions

Each spring we usually do a non-musical play to give acting opportunities to members who prefer not to sing and dance. Previous shows have included, Blood Brothers, Skellig, Frankenstein and most recently The Wolves of Willoughby Chase.

Youth Theatre Safeguarding

We take the safeguarding of our members very seriously. Each rehearsal/ performance/workshop is attended by a chaperone, we have an experienced safeguarding officer to ensure all safeguarding procedures are in place, and our safeguarding policy is available on request.

Youth Theatre Contact
