Whether you’ve performed on stage lots of times before, or whether you want to try something new, The Belgrade Theatre Summer School gives an opportunity for each young person to shine.

Participants will take part in practical drama sessions, led by professional theatre-makers. Each day we will develop our performance skills, and we will create our own brand-new piece of theatre which we will share with an invited audience of family and friends on the Friday afternoon.

Taking part in The Belgrade Theatre Summer School is a really exciting way to send a week of the Summer Holidays. Participants are able to spend time in a welcoming and supportive space, where they can develop confidence, improve their team-working skills, make new friends, and have lots of fun!

Previous Summer School participants have gone on to be part of The Belgrade Theatre's regular Youth Acting Classes, Theatre HUBS and Creative Youth Forum.

The Belgrade Theatre are committed to making sure that Summer School is inclusive and accessible for everyone. Please email communityadmin@belgrade.co.uk if you have any questions about the programme.

Familiarisation Day

This year, the team will be running a familiarisation day before the Summer School starts. The familiarisation day will allow participants to meet the team who will be running the workshops, see the spaces where we will be working, and ask any questions they may have about the week.

“The performance was amazing. I was trying to hold back tears the entire time. Watching the kids and seeing how much it meant to them really struck a chord. Those 30 minutes felt very special.” - PARENT OF LAST YEAR'S SUMMER SCHOOL ATTENDEE
