Kings Academy Youth Theatre
Our Youth Theatre is a place for young people to discover their confidence, creativity and love of performing. From Year R through to Year 13+, students develop their skills in acting, singing, movement and performance while making friends and having fun in a supportive, encouraging environment.
With age-appropriate sessions for Minis, Juniors and Seniors, there’s something for every young performer — whether they’re stepping onto the stage for the very first time or already dreaming of a career in theatre.
Throughout the year, students work towards showcases, drama and singing festivals, and exciting performance opportunities, with a large-scale theatre production every other year. Students are encouraged to challenge themselves, explore different characters and performance styles, and develop skills that extend far beyond the stage.
Whether your child loves being centre stage or is simply looking for a creative space to build confidence, make friends and have fun, King’s Academy Youth Theatre is the perfect place to shine.
Creating Theatre
Training Triple Threats
We feel our students learn to act and sing best when performing and putting on a show. The amount of improvement we see when putting on our little shows is amazing, let alone when we work on a big show! With this in mind, each term will be working towards a show. We will buy the rights to this show and put on everything from panto to musicals to serious plays and everything in between!
Shows are performed at a local venue to allow the students to have that theatre experience they love so much. Students are involved in the whole creative process, from the auditions to the choice in piece, costumes and set. Some shows involve the whole creative cast, some shows involve just the Minis or Junior or the Senior Cast.
“Amazing! I’ve just watched the musical mashup and am sure it was the best production I’ve ever seen! I can’t believe how much you managed to teach the kids in just a single week!!I am thrilled that she has joined your school”
