Oxford Playhouse puts young people at the centre of what we do, and platform their passion and voices to direct the future of our theatre.

Whether as a participant in a one-off Masterclass, or as a regular member of our term-time Youth Theatre and Young Company groups, Oxford Playhouse offers opportunities for children, teenagers and young adults to learn and hone their skills in supportive and collaborative environments.

Youth Theatre

Playhouse Youth Theatre is a platform for 12 to 16 year-olds to develop their passion for performance, learn brand new skills, and build friendships in a supportive setting.

Booking is now open for our Youth Theatre for the Autumn 2026 - Summer 2027 term.

Young Company

Playhouse Young Company is a collaborative ensemble of young people aged 17 to 25 with a commitment and passion for creating theatre and developing performance skills.

The group is currently being restructured and therefore will not be accepting new members for Autumn 2026. We are unable to give any further details at this time, but please look out for updates on our website and socials.
