Albany Youth Theatre

Albany Youth Theatre (AYT) is made up of 4 groups, running every Wednesday and Thursday during term time.

Our Youth Theatre is led by an experienced theatre practitioner who works closely with all members to develop performance skills, build confidence and ignite imagination! 

No previous drama experience is necessary to take part, just be ready to get involved and have fun!

All members will have the opportunity to work towards regular performance opportunities, exploring a wide range of theatre genres and techniques.

As part of the Albany’s values, we want to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable. So the first session for each child is free to see if it is right for them. Then payment can be made for the term after that session if they are happy and keen to stay on.   

WEDNESDAYS

Albany Juniors

  • For ages 8-11
  • Wednesday evenings during term time

Exploring a range of different theatre genres and developing a wide variety of performance skills, our Junior sessions are perfect for young people that want to be creative. Our Juniors work towards regular performances, whether that be a performance of well-known script or something they have created themselves – each term is completely different. All members have the option to not only perform, but also learn about our backstage craft – whether that be directing scenes or learning about sound design. You do not need to have any previous theatre experience to take part, just be ready to get involved and have loads of fun!

Albany Seniors

Our Seniors get the opportunity to develop performance techniques, learn new skills and produce their own work. Sessions are led by all members’ ideas and interests and cover a variety of theatre genres. Every week we have a wide range of games and activities, all focussed on developing their skills and confidence, whilst having lots of fun! All members have the option to not only perform, but also learn about our backstage craft – whether that be writing their own script or learning about sound design, it is a great way for them to learn about all aspects of putting on a theatre performance. You do not need to have any previous theatre experience to take part, just be ready to get involved and have a great time!

Every session our mini’s will be developing performance skills, teamwork and confidence in a creative safe space igniting their imaginations.

Mini’s have the opportunity to work towards performances at the end of each term to show off all of their hard work!

  • For ages 16-18

Our Young Company functions much like a professional theatre company, and gives our members the opportunity to develop a range of theatrical skills. Sessions will be skills-based, working on specific performance areas such as movement and vocals. Members will work towards performances that will be made by, for and with them – centred around their ideas and interests. Our Young Company will work collaboratively with our facilitators and technical team, having the opportunity to not only learn performance skills but also backstage craft such as technical theatre design. Young Company is a great opportunity for those wanting to pursue a creative career, or those that want a space to be imaginative and realise ideas!
