Young People aged 12-16
Our sessions for those aged 12-16 are great for young people who have developed a more focused interest in the arts.
Whether it’s joining our Youth Theatre, doing Work Experience with us, or trying our Shine groups, our sessions are great to help young people learn new skills and meet new people their age.
Theatre is for everyone, and we will ensure our building and sessions are accessible to all participants – removing any barriers to participation. Find out more about Access at Nottingham Playhouse here and please tell us if there is anything further we can do to ensure our sessions are accessible for you.
