Marian St Theatre for Young People

New and continuing students

Discover the Performing Arts

Develop creativity, confidence and collaboration through drama. Learn about acting and performance in a creative environment.

Every week, students work with a professional Teaching Artist to develop acting, collaboration and creative skills, building self-confident expression in voice and body whilst developing an understanding of the forms and traditions of theatre. 

Our Youth Ensembles are for secondary students in years 7+. From exploring different theatre forms to developing skills in stagecraft, physical theatre, text and script analysis, improvisation and self-devised work, our youth are encouraged to use their creative voice and collaborate as an ensemble to discover what it means to be theatre makers.
