Youth Theatre

I was made to feel welcome and wanted…It made a big difference that we had help with expenses

Our youth theatre is for 13 to 25 year olds who live in and around Liverpool. We meet on a Tuesday night 6 – 8.30pm at Liverpool Hope University in Everton and all sessions are completely free.

In keeping with the company’s ethos the youth theatre explores issues of social justice. This means that they use theatre as a way to have their say and create new work about issues that matter to them.

In 2011, the team worked with theatre director, Carl Cockram to explore why 9 out of 10 children on Merseyside are officially classed as living in poverty. They created a 40 minute performance, Transparent Truth which performed to sell-out audiences at Liverpool’s Bluecoat Arts Centre.  Youth Theatre members are now working on developing their own theatre facilitation skills so they can help to run workshops and develop new talents.
