EDUCATION & PARTICIPATION

Live Theatre’s Education and Participation department is celebrating a decade of working with, and developing creative relationships, with young people and local communities in the North East.

Home to the largest free drama education and outreach programme in the region Live Theatre’s education team are committed to getting people involved in a range of opportunities that reflect genuine and valid concerns of their lives.

Every year nearly 250 young people between the age of 11 and 25 years old benefit from this service where they learn valuable life skills and have the chance to perform in specially produced productions. With four satellite groups based in the East and West end of Newcastle there are also opportunities for local communities to get involved with Live Theatre on their doorsteps.

The team also work on a series of specialist projects collaborating with a diverse range of organisations such as Newcastle Youth Offending Team, the North East Refugee Service and NewcastleGateshead Initiative.
