About Young Players:
Weekly creative workshops focusing on acting, dancing, singing, theatre making and performing in a safe and fun environment for young people aged 8-16.
No drama experience necessary.
Young people will be working towards our 'Summer Showcase' which will take place on Saturday 27th June 2026.
As we will be working towards a final performance, young people must commit to as many workshops as possible.
Saturdays 10am-12pm @ The Parish Church of St John-at-Hampstead, Church Row, London NW3 6UU. Sessions will take place in the Parish Rooms, which are down the left hand side of the church.
Start date: Saturday 7th March 2026
Drinks and snacks will be provided each week.
Our facilitators have completed DBS checks, have undertaken appropriate safeguarding training, and have lots of experience delivering youth programmes.

Our sessions will run from Saturday 7th March - Saturday 27th June. On our performance date of Saturday 27th June, children will be required from 1pm until the performance at 6pm.
