Performers in this group are given the opportunity to experience a variety of texts and theatrical approaches that enhance their skills as actors.

Young people are encouraged to work creatively and collaboratively, with an emphasis on ensemble acting as well as on developing their own particular talents.

If you are aged 14, then you can either join our 11-14 or 14-17 group.

This term, to coincide with the Octagon's main house show, a ‘brilliantly bonkers and hilarious’ adaptation of Alfred Hitchcock’s thriller ‘The 39 Steps’, the group will explore this classic text whilst developing skills and confidence in physical comedy, multi-rolling and creating tension on stage.
