Minster Playhouse has recently become involved in Youth Theatre. 20 local children aged 5 to 15 attended a week long Dance, Drama, Music and Stage workshop in August 2011. Run by experienced performers and stage crew from Minster and local groups, the children were guided through the week long workshop held at the EKSS venue in the grounds of the Marlowe Academy.

Having spent a fun packed week singing, dancing, acting, playing musical instruments and making costumes, programs and the set, the children and young people delivered a wonderfully entertaining variety show to their delighted family and friends. The show, based on animals, included pieces from "The Hungry Caterpillar", "Ugly Bug Ball", "The Lion King", and even a 15 minute Cinderella panto, written by the children themselves.

"The workshop was perfect in every way and my children loved every second of it. It surprised me a bit just how much they have enjoyed themselves - and has lead onto them now wanting to join Minster Playhouse - that in itself says it all! Thankyou.."

"My children loved the workshop, all they did all week was rave about it. It has boosted their confidence and I feel it has been really worthwhile."
