The Mad Red Theatre School

The Maddermarket Theatre has had a thriving Youth Theatre for over thirty years, providing the first all important steps for young people (aged 6yrs +) wanting to make a career in the theatre, or those who wish to have a hobby that gives them a unique way of expressing themselves.
The course follows the academic year, with a detailed syllabus for each of the three terms. Each term students will develop specific theatre skills at a level relevant to their age and ability.
They will experience disciplines such as story-telling, improvisation and devising, movement, mask work, characterisation, vocal development and how to approach text, whilst learning how to convey action, atmosphere and tension through different theatre styles.
The final class of each term will take the form of an open workshop, presentation of work in progress, or performance to which friends and family are invited.
The classes are run by our professional teaching staff, who continue to work in theatre themselves. Specialists are brought in, as required, to give tuition in other areas of theatre such as mask-work, set design, costume, lighting and sound, and stage-combat.
