Are you aged 11 – 19? Have you ever considered becoming a professional actor or theatre-maker? Are you curious about the work of Shakespeare and why his plays are still being performed today? Do you want to work with industry professionals alongside like-minded and committed peers?

The Globe’s Youth Theatre is a weekly training programme for young performers hungry to engage with acting and performance. Led on-site at Shakespeare’s Globe by experienced, professional actors and directors, members of the Youth Theatre will get the unique chance to immerse themselves in the Globe’s radical and experimental approach to the work of Shakespeare and its continued relevance to the modern world through a varied programme of workshops, performances and showcases.

Each term will conclude with a showcase of work developed across the term in one of the Globe’s unique playing spaces to an invited audience of friends and family.

Our Youth Theatre runs termly alongside the academic calendar and costs £295 per term.

Auditions are currently closed for the Spring Term. However, if you would like to join our waiting list for the Spring or Summer term, please email [email protected]. Find out more about key information and term dates
