What is Young Storyhouse?
Young Storyhouse is a collective of groups for young people (14-25) at Storyhouse that meet for regular sessions to provide young people (aged 14-25) with real-life industry experience in the arts and libraries, as well as supporting them in gaining new skills, building friendships and achieving qualifications. Young Storyhouse has a focus on creativity.
Members of Young Storyhouse have created, produced and marketed their own film, music and theatre festivals; written, devised and performed brand new pieces of theatre; designed lighting and sound as part of the technical team; completed nationally-recognised awards; organised and led activities for children, chaired panel discussions with industry leaders, and much more.
Young Storyhouse has three strands – Young Leaders, Young Company and also Youth Theatre (which is for 5-13 year olds). You can find out more below.
