Youth Theatre for our older participants aims to develop young people as sophisticated performers who feel confident to take creative risks in a supportive and engaging environment.

We encourage actors to challenge themselves to work together and to flourish in a professional theatre environment.

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

"Always a welcoming experience for all"

SUPPORTED PLACES

As a charity, we strive to keep our fees at an affordable cost so as many people as possible can take part. We also offer installment payment options to help participants spread the cost of fees.

We are sometimes able to offer financial assistance to participants experiencing financial hardship thanks to the generosity of our funders. We also acknowledge that there are communities currently underrepresented within the our participation groups and actively encourage applicants from Black, Asian and Global majority backgrounds.

There are a limited number of Supported Places available. To join the waiting list, please email participation@octagonbolton.co.uk for more information.
