Playhouse Youth Theatre is our platform for young people aged 12 to 16 to develop their passion for performance, learn new skills and build confidence and friendships.

Across the Autumn 2025 and Spring 2026 terms, our members will embark on a two-term project where they will prepare and rehearse a performance which will be staged in the BT Studio.

Participants will be expected to commit to all scheduled rehearsals across both the Autumn 2025 and Spring 2026 Terms and learn lines.

No audition is required to join our Playhouse Youth Theatre, but early booking is encouraged as spaces tend to fill fast.

Bursaries

We understand that sometimes there are financial barriers that can limit a participant's ability to access our workshops and activities, and so our Open House Bursary Placement scheme looks to support those who might not otherwise be able to attend.

We offer two Bursary Placements (Full or Half) on our regular term-time activities, including our Youth Theatre, Young Company and Adult Company.
