Youth Theatre

Create - Perform - Experience - Connect - Tell your story

We run three weekly youth theatre groups from our studio in Barton Hill Settlement, Bristol. No experience or audition necessary, these groups are open to everyone and provide a safe space for young people to express themselves each week.

Mondays, 7-8.30pm: 14-19's
Wednesdays, 4.30-5.30pm: 7-10's
Thursdays, 6-7.30pm: 11-13's

We are no longer operating a waiting list for our groups and will advertise vacancies via community partners and our Take Part newsletter.

For termly updates, please sign up for our Take Part newsletter here and tick to say you're interested in 'youth theatre', or contact Louise Betts. Keep an eye out for our next newsletter for details on any youth theatre spaces for the autumn term.

For more details, email Louise Betts or call/text/whatsapp 07305008789.

“I think the most important thing is the creativity of it… we don’t like have just a script of something.  It’s completely original, so it means we can basically do whatever we want with the plot.”  Youth Theatre member 

"My son's confidence has grown hugely during his time with Travelling Light, and I think as a result of that he's more likely to be prepared to have a go at other similar activities at school and so on whereas previously he might not have done." Youth Theatre parent

"One of the things I value the most about TL is how you get to meet lots of new people, and as well as the drama, you get to have fun and learn about each other and make new friends through this nice experience." Youth Theatre member

The quotes above are from an evaluation of our Youth Theatre programme in 2019. Between March and December 2019, we commissioned Evaluation Consultant, Nell Farrally, to co-ordinate a collaborative evaluation process to understand what children, young people and families think about our Youth Theatre programme and to understand its impact. You can read the executive summary here.
