Free online discussions and training, lead by England’s Youth Theatre National Portfolio Organisations.
We think we’d all be better off if we were working and learning together.
England’s Youth Theatres NPOs* have teamed up to offer free, regular, online spaces to discuss the practice and practicalities of running a youth theatre today.
Running a Youth Theatre is run by: 20 Stories High, Burnley Youth Theatre, Company Three, Mortal Fools, Prime Theatre and Theatre Factory.
*NPO stands for National Portfolio Organisations. Being an NPO means the Arts Council England gives our organisations regular funding to deliver our work, and that our work responds to the Arts Council’s strategic aims for arts and culture.
‘It's supportive to know things can change and be done differently.’
