The Canberra Youth Theatre

Canberra Youth Theatre is one of Australia's leading youth arts companies. We amplify the voices of young people providing a space for them to discover their creative selves. From the first spark of an idea, through to full production, we are committed to creating a canon of new works for young people, driven by an inclusive, youthled approach. We specialise in bridging the divide between young people and professional theatre practice by engaging young people as active collaborators in the creation of new works which authentically represent the voice of youth. We create pathways to professional practice that empower the creative leaders of tomorrow, and provide vital training opportunities for our emerging artists. Our creative engagement programs work to ensure all young people in our region can access the arts, and benefit from its profound social impacts. Canberra Youth Theatre provides a platform for performers, designers, directors, theatremakers, playwrights, and cultural leaders to gain invaluable professional experience, develop their craft, and find their own creative voice. Canberra Youth Theatre is the voice of youth expressed through intelligent and challenging theatre. Our full annual report is available at https://canberrayouththeatre.com.au/about/annualreports/
