We want to ensure that everyone has access to the arts, not just the privileged few. We recognise that the arts have a positive transformative effect on lives; we want to nurture the development of local young people to become our next generation of actors, writers,directors and producers of theatre

Situation
Through our work in schools, young people increasingly asked why the Royal Court Theatre didn’t have a Youth Theatre. They told us that there was nowhere in the City that offered free opportunities in theatre & this meant that they missed out; their parents unfortunately were unable to afford the fees that other projects charged. With that, we set out on a mission to establish the only free Youth Theatre in the city that would be free for young people to access and have an open door policy.
Solution
We are the only free project of its kind, in Liverpool, that engages with an 11-19 year old cohort, provides free access and an open door policy with no waiting lists. We are the only Youth Theatre in the city that focuses on musical and comedic theatre; perfect for those who are facing real and serious issues at home - it is an escape for them. We are a Youth Theatre FOR young people created BY young people so we know that what we deliver is relevant and needed.
