Our Christchurch Programmes

National Youth Theatre ran our first programme in Christchurch in 2025 - 140 young performers took over the Isaac Theatre Royal and performed an astonishing version of Cats to sold out audiences. We're back in 2026 - our plans will be announced very soon!

All our programmes are for those aged between 7 & 21.

We run our main programme twice a year. This involves mostly Sunday afternoon classes, leading up to a performance week in a major theatre.

Our School Holiday programmes run for 5 days each school holiday, leading up to a smaller scale devised performance for friends and family.

Our skills workshops - musical theatre based and drama based - run after school in term time.

All our programmes fill fast - sign up for our newsletter to make sure you don't miss out.
