DRAMA CLASSES

Northland Youth Theatre runs amazing after school drama classes with fantastic skilled tutors.

These classes do not work towards major performances, but instead  focus on having fun, developing drama skills, teamwork and building confidence. 
Students explore elements of storytelling, movement and characterisation through games, scenarios and short script work.
Our goal is for young people to fall in love with theatre craft.

In order to put these skills to use, NYT offers a number of opportunities, outside of classes, for students to take to the stage and perform. 

• Fright NYTe
• Quality Street Shakespeare
• Devised Show
• Enchanted Garden
• Dare to Devise.

Please talk to us about discounts for siblings and our ‘Act of Kindness’ scholarships.

WRITE CLUB

This class will guide student playwrights through creating their own work, from initial ideas into scripts ready for stage!⁠ Run by Ash Jones.
Ash Jones started out as a bright-eyed teenager taking 'Up Close Out Loud' to Manchester with Massive Theatre Company. That devising foundation put him in good stead creating works like the award-winning 'Soldiers Heart' and 'the Feathered Girl', and 'Lies' with Nisha Madhan’s 'The Town Centre'. His own theatre company 'Thank You Real Good Party Time Ltd' was created to stage his first full-length play 'Thomus', a coming of age Jacobean crime drama written in Iambic Pentameter. ⁠⁠
