Young People
Young Company
Work with our professional artists to develop your skills for the stage or behind the scenes. Theatre Royal Plymouth’s Young Company is a great way to increase your skills and confidence in a fun and friendly environment.
Our intensive week-long Theatre Academies in the Easter and Summer Holidays give you the chance to develop your skills with professional theatre-makers in a fun and exciting week of activities.
Dare to Dazzle
Dare to Dazzle is a drama group for children aged 7–11 from asylum seeker, refugee or migrant backgrounds. We use drama to explore identity, improve confidence, integration and enhance language skills.
The children’s end of term showback was great, it has inspired me to create an assembly with my class next week celebrating some of the things that make us different.

Tiny Tales
In these active weekly sessions, you and your child will explore well-known stories through creative play and unique theatrical storytelling.
My child, who is practically non-verbal, has started creating stories at home and re-enacting Tiny Tales stories.
