WEEKLY GROUPS OPEN TO YOUNG PEOPLE AGED 5-19
Take part in drama games and activities that support you to make friends, have fun, and build your confidence and skills. We create imaginative new stories, through theatre, film and audio – all working towards an exciting end of project performance! All our sessions are FREE, inclusive, and welcoming to all.
No experience necessary, and no fees (although donations are welcome!). All we ask for is a willingness to give things a go and a passion for creativity.
In September we started a new Stage 1 Youth Theatre group and we are starting our new 'Creative Sparks' mixed arts group in January!

WHAT TO EXPECT AS A NEW MEMBER
We've created the "What to expect as a new member" guide to help you get a feel of what to expect from your first Mortal Fools Youth Theatre session.
PREVIOUS YOUTH THEATRE PROJECTS
Watch This SpaceChange is everywhere; it’s scary, fun, unexpected, exciting, overwhelming, hopeful and so much more. But for young people, change often happens TO them – adults make the decisions, and they have to deal with the dizzying consequences.
Join Mortal Fools Youth Theatre as they ride the waves of change in their lives, holding tight to the things they love, making their own decisions and discovering who they are. They might not know what the future will hold, but they’re ready for it! |
Sounding Board Digital!We passed the mic to our youth theatre members to show what really matters to them, as they use music to express their true selves and share what makes them feel happy and heard.
Check out the full collection of short films and music videos, filled with bold, thought-provoking lyrics, catchy tunes, and creative soundscapes! |
The Bigger PictureThe voices of 75 young people from Northumberland and the North East come together in a collection of short films, created by Mortal Fools Youth Theatre with Fly Girl Films and Mortal Fools’ associate artists.
