For ages 5 - 21
Are you aged between 5 and 21? Beacon Youth Theatre invites you to bring your imagination, share your ideas, tell stories about your life, then work with other young people to make your stories – and theirs – come alive on the Beacon Arts Centre stage.
For ages 16 - 21
Are you interested in pursuing a career in the arts? Beacon Young Company invites young people aged between 16 and 21 to focus on devised work, how to become a theatre-maker and performance opportunities.
