Saturday Youth Theatre for 6-17 year olds

The Saturday Youth Theatre has been running successfully for many years, providing drama classes that are challenging, educational and enjoyable. You do not need any previous experience to take part in the Saturday Youth Theatre, just enthusiasm and commitment.

A range of drama techniques and theatrical forms are explored each year and this includes improvisation, text and devising.

Our work draws on the Embassy Theatre's commitment to both traditional and contemporary drama and texts explored have ranged from Brecht to Shakespeare, 4/48 Psychosis to Raisin in the Sun, Mystery Plays to Agatha Christie!

At the end of each term students present their work to carers, families and friends.
