Ages 8 to 12 & 11 to 16

At Stamford Arts Centre, we pride ourselves on our excellent youth theatre groups that provide young people from the ages of 8 through to 16 with a solid foundation in performance and production. The groups are designed so that children can work their way up through the age groups and therefore get the most out of their youth theatre experience. Led by experienced director Martin Tempest, this year the groups are working towards a production in May

Led by Mary Benzies, the SSYT is a unique theatre company open to young people who are committed to creating exciting, original and innovative theatre. Entry into the company is by audition only which take place annually every Summer. During the exciting year, valuable training and experience is gained in performance and production as well how to facilitate their own workshops. This year’s production Talk Ease will be performed on our theatre stage in March as well as taken on tour around schools and various community venues in the region.
