Young Theatre Makers: Summer School 2026 – Ages 11-13

Designed for people aged 11–13, this week-long course invites young creatives to collaborate, experiment and bring ideas to life. Working with experienced theatre practitioners, participants spend five days developing an original performance from scratch—devising scenes, creating characters, writing scripts, designing sets and building props—while developing performance skills through games and practical exercises.

The week culminates in a performance in the professional Factory Theatre on Friday 21 August 2026 at 4pm.
