Open Stage Young Company is for young people aged 10-18 years old and is our dedicated young company for learning disabled and/or autistic young people who love drama and performing.

Sessions are designed to spark imaginations and develop creative play. Workshops will include lots of games, team work, theatre skills building and lots of fun. We will explore a range of performance styles and drama techniques as we learn how to tell exciting stories using our bodies and voices. Led by a team of experienced staff in a relaxed and encouraging environment to make sure everyone is fully supported.

In the Autumn term we will focus on skills building, we’ll work towards a sharing in our Spring term and a performance on the mainstage in the Summer term.

Parents aren’t required to stay in the sessions but if you would like to talk about access for your young person please contact participation@nottinghamplayhouse.co.uk.
