Press reviews

★★★★★ “When it comes to staging a show using the talents of a Junior Youth theatre, you might think there is enough to think about getting around 45 kids to learn the necessary combination of song, dance and acting. For their show The Jungle Book, The Courtyard Youth Theatre went one better. Alternating across the performances, they cast a completely different set of youngsters so each show consists of either the Orange team or the completely different Green team.

It is hard to imagine the amount of work which went into the show but, apart from having to contend with a few sound and microphone glitches on the night, both the cast and the audience enjoyed it immensely. As an example of community engagement on a wide scale and across a range of ages, this is an impressive show.”

Join us at Animal Farm this July!

Our incredible Senior Youth Theatre are working very hard on their rehearsals for their production of George Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’, and they can’t wait for you all to see it! Their adaptation of the classic will speak to the heart of today’s world, where promises of chance can quickly turn into a cycle of manipulation and control.
