SLT Youth Theatre
Welcoming young people
Drama for 6 to 18 year olds
South London Theatre Youth Drama classes take place on Fridays and Saturdays throughout the school term.
Our classes are friendly, informal and fun. Our aim is to develop young people's confidence and explore creativity through drama games and group work. Participants will make new friends, have fun and have opportunities to perform in front of an audience - of peers, family and friends, or even a paying theatre crowd. In February 2026 for example, three separate casts of 13 - 18 year-olds put on seven performances of Tatty Hennessey’s version of George Orwell’s Animal Farm to sold-out audiences.
