The New Stage Theatre Youth Group aims to create a safe, social and creative working environment. By developing a program that is inclusive of all needs and abilities. A program that has social events and weekly workshops where members will gain new friendships, learn and thrive by working in a collaborative manner. We believe that youth theatre is a base to contribute to personal, social and artistic development of all members.

What the taster workshop will entail: In the workshop we will use collaborative and ensemble approach, through games, and improvisation, this will be a fun hour, where you will get an insight into the world of drama. No experience is needed, just your curiosity alone will be enough. This will be an hour where, you will discover how drama can empower you to believe in their own creativity, skill set and in yourself, to live in the moment and see no boundaries in the world of theatre.
