New Pre-School Class

NEW Wednesday morning Pre-School class!

We’re delighted to offer a new Pre-School drama class on Wednesday mornings running 10:00am to 10:45am (ONLINE while schools and nurseries are closed). Spaces are strictly limited so book now to avoid disappointment!

See you there!

**Update 26th December 2020 – All classes will run online while schools are closed. Classes will be at the same time and will be the same duration as timetabled. Parents will be sent the Zoom link on the morning of class each week. Taster sessions and new students are completely encouraged to start while we are online – it’s great fun and our team of drama leaders are amazing at teaching online! We call our online space EYT2.

We hope you will join us to continue the learning, the laughs and the creative connection!

When schools re-open we will move into Bellfield again.**

why edinburgh youth theatre?

grow in confidence

Confidence is probably the most obvious benefit from our classes, but the power of acting and drama skills cannot be understated.

express yourself

The school curriculum is so focused on the three ‘R’s, we sometimes lose sight of the importance of developing creative and emotional expression in our young people.

develop communication skills

Learning to communicate in new and exciting ways in a safe environment helps our children bring these skills to all aspects of their lives.

become a better learner

You child will grow in confidence and awareness of how to learn and remember their parts and lines. They will take this into the classroom.

speak out!

Our drama sessions will give you life skills, learning to speak in public from an early age. Our children are encouraged to get involved in our stage and film productions.

make new friends

Let’s not underestimate the power of having fun, and our sessions are always fun and energetic. Strong and life-long bonds are forged on the stage.

“We love casting the kids at Edinburgh Youth Theatre. Thanks to Shauna Macdonald and her team’s excellent work, teaching the children how to trust their instincts and create vivid improvisations, EYT produces confident and highly creative child actors.”

“The youth theatre has been fantastic for our son. The teachers are great with young people – very enthusiastic and make the whole thing fun and interesting. It has done wonders for his confidence and he has also met lots of lovely friends there.”
