About Thatcham Youth Theatre
Our popular Youth Theatre is now also running sessions at Moorside Community Centre on Thursdays, for ages 8-16.
Our Youth theatre sessions have an emphasis on developing performance skills, that are also useful for everyday life. Together we will learn theatre techniques such as improvising, character development and approaches to scripts. All whilst building confidence, making friends and having fun.
Our summer term!
Our summer term will go on sale to our current participants on 10 Mar, 1pm. You should receive an email from our outreach team with a code which will unlock your priority booking.
We go on general sale on 27 Mar, 1pm.
We offer priority booking for our current participants for our spring and summer terms. Our autumn terms are open to everyone. If the session you're interested in is full this time, then sign up to our mailing list and we will notify you when our next term is going on sale.
All about Youth Theatre
What happens in a Youth Theatre session?
Each session is bespoke but they follow a similar schedule each week.
We check in with everyone in the group and share news from our week.
We warm up and play drama skills based games
We then have a main activity (related to the overall theme of the term)
And then we wraps up and conclude.
What do I need to bring?
Please wear comfortable clothes that are easy to move in and will keep you covered during any physical movement. Bring water in a clearly labelled or colourful bottle. If you have any medication you may need to take, please bring them in a clearly labelled bag and ensure a member of the team is aware (either by providing details in the above form or by contacting the team prior to the session).
Do I need to have any previous experience?
No, our sessions are bespoke to the group we are working with, and we offer a very supportive environment. Our Youth Theatre focuses on indivudual development, nurturing our young people to take their next step - whether that's a tip toe or a giant leap.
Pay Less/Pay More scheme
We operate a Pay Less/Pay More scheme which means you will have three payment options: the £102 to cover the cost of the term, £92 for the term if this would help your young person access the group where the full price may be a barrier, or £112 to help support others to access our opportunities.
We are also able to offer a limited amount of full or partial financial support.
