Young People

Cast is a place where young people can grow, create, and get inspired.

From performing to producing, there are loads of ways to get involved and discover what you’re passionate about, on stage or behind the scenes.

Join our Youth Theatre, try a workshop, or see how a professional theatre works through our Work Experience programme. You don’t need any experience, just enthusiasm and an open mind.

Make friends, gain confidence, and be part of something exciting.
