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.
