Hull Youth Theatre

Since 2017 we’ve been offering regular workshops for young people aged 12 to 19 in Hull, to provide an education in drama outside of school for young people from low-income, non-privileged backgrounds and those who would otherwise have little or no chance to access such opportunities. 

There are up to 30 members, who meet each week. Our workshops offer the chance to explore creative potential in drama in a non-academic environment. We learn a range of skills including script writing and devising work, acting techniques, movement and voice, physical theatre and improvisation.

We go on theatre trips, run masterclasses with industry professionals and perform for the local community.

The youth theatre exists to unearth emerging local talent, make bold and exciting work, give a chance for young people’s voices to be heard, encourage members to develop a lifelong passion for the performing arts, and to offer a practical and realistic springboard to further education, including a potential theatrical career.

What participants think

“NYAT has been a massive support, inspiration and aid for me in getting to be where I am now. Through watching the youth theatre leaders and their support in allowing me to lead work on my own meant I knew I wanted to go into applied theatre. I can never express how grateful I am not only for that, but for the financial help they have given me. Getting into drama school is a huge thing for a girl from Hull, and NYAT made me going to the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts a dream I could access. Thank you for everything!”
