The Palace Youth Theatre runs weekly workshops which are divided into age categories. Sessions differ depending on the age of the children in the group, the leader taking it and the needs of the participants. For example, the Monday group for 5-8 year olds focuses on confidence building and storytelling, with an introduction to devising techniques. Lots of drama based games are played to help the group interact and work together and prepare them to move on. For older children the focus is less on drama games (although of course these are still involved!) and more on the details of performance techniques, using improvisation, script work, movement pieces, vocal performance and lots more.
The Palace Youth Theatre provides its members (over 8’s) the opportunity to audition for two main performances each year which are performed on the main stage. These shows are taken very seriously and auditions are held which ensure that actors who are most suited to the roles are cast. The shows performed by the youth theatre tend to have large casts and there are many opportunities for members to be involved. We always have great fun in youth theatre shows and they are seen as a great privilege to be a part of.
