Creativity, Collaboration and Ownership
NPA Theatreworks is our youth theatre for young people aged 8–18 who want to explore theatre in a more creative and collaborative way. Open to students from any background — including those who train at other theatre schools — Theatreworks is a space where young performers can come together to create exciting productions and develop their skills.
Rather than simply following directions, students are encouraged to take greater ownership of the work. From developing characters and ideas to shaping performances, Theatreworks gives young people the opportunity to grow as confident, creative theatre-makers in a supportive and welcoming environment.
