Youth Theatre: A springboard for talent!

​

abop Youth Theatre offers dynamic, exciting and fun extra curricular activity for young theatre-makers to engage in drama, and to experience the magic of showcasing their work on stage. The invigorating ABOP Youth Theatre Programme holds year-round theatre workshops, weekly classes, projects and camps, combining the joy and fulfillment of a dynamic, creative, arts-oriented environment, in which professional Theatre Practitioners share their love of the craft with young people. Igniting a students' passion for arts appreciation and self-expression. 

 

Providing an imaginative outlet for young people to explore their potential and develop their acting ability, students build their self esteem, improve their confidence and have an enormous amount of fun! Participation in Theatre workshops, productions, and educational projects encourages students to learn, to be creative, and think differently. It encourages authentic collaboration, negotiation, and an acceptance that things may not always go as expected but the journey is as valuable as the end result.
