Calderdale Theatre School is the Youth Theatre for young people aged 11 - 19 from all over Calderdale. Formed in 1968 by the Education Department, we became an independent voluntary organisation in 1992 and a charity in 2013. We meet every Saturday in term time when the students get the opportunity to work with professional actors and drama teachers on theatre based skills workshops. These cover all aspects of theatre including mime, improvisation, directing and voice. We try to give our students the opportunity to take part in full length productions in professional venues. Each year we try to choose scripts so that they have a very different performing experience.
