“My son has attended since the age of 12 and it has been the place where his confidence has grown. He has discovered his passion for acting, been given fantastic opportunities and met lifelong friends.” Parent of Theatre School member
Housed in our young people’s venue, The Egg Theatre. The Theatre Royal Bath Theatre School offers specialised training and professional insight into the world of theatre, both on and off stage.
We run weekly sessions for young people aged 5-25; offering skills workshops in a variety of theatre disciplines and creative arts. Our youngest members engage with the arts through creative play; ensuring a safe and fun environment for them to explore, while sowing the seeds of skills they will take on as they grow up with us. Our oldest members form and develop their own theatre company; supporting them to enter the professional world of theatre with confidence in themselves and practice.
All of the Theatre School shows we produce are supported by industry professional production and creative teams, including: costume and set designers, sound designers, composers, stage management and lighting designers. So, whether you are a budding lighting designer, actor or just wishing to make friends with like-minded people, come and be a part of it!
