YOUTH ON THE STEPS

All our students take part in all the Performing Arts, Acting, Singing and Dancing with the emphasis being on performance.

Youth on the Steps has been training students for over 15 years and some of our students have gone on to make their careers in the Performing Arts. For all students being a part of Youth on the Steps increases their confidence and their ability to communicate, all skills which will assist students throughout their lives.

WHAT WE DO

During each session, students will take part in Acting, Singing and Dancing, usually working towards the next show in which they will be taking part as well as developing technique.

Youth on the Steps produces at least one main house production each year.

Students also have the opportunity to take part in other productions at the theatre, in particular the Ghost Walk Showcase in October and for older students the pantomime, plus sometimes we're invited to take part in productions by other theatre groups and professional productions.

WHERE AND WHEN

Youth on the Steps is held on Saturday mornings from 10.00am to 1.00pm, we normally work in around 6 week sessions to coincide with school terms.

In the run-up to Youth Theatre productions, there are additional rehearsals.

The sessions are held at the Theatre giving students the opportunity to use the stage and technical equipment, our staff are DBS checked and the theatre is fully licensed as a theatre which means that students are working in a safe and friendly environment.

London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art Acting Examinations

We provide optional tuition to students who want to take the London Academy of Music and, Dramatic Art examinations.

These examinations are performance based but also require the student to have a good knowledge of the plays from which they perform extracts, and the staging and stagecraft of the piece. The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art has been holding drama and other performing arts examinations since 1880 and its examination schedule is established as a key element in speech and drama teaching. LAMDA examinations have always been of benefit not only to those who go on to make their career in the Performing Arts but also to everyone in their everyday lives as it assists in developing confidence, clarity of expression and communication.  LAMDA examinations are accredited by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority, and form part of the National Qualifications network, and higher grades provide points for University entrance.

Tuition for LAMDA Examinations takes place outside of Youth Theatre. Contact us to Sign Up.
