She joined us at 8. Nine years later, a hobby had become a passion.

Lottie left this lovely review on our brand new Google page for ACT Penrith. She's gone on to study Acting at college and university, and four years on she's still part of the ACT family. Thank you, Lottie.

We're so proud of you. ❤️

Whether they want to perform professionally or just find their voice, there's a place for your child here.

Are you a Penrith parent or past student? We'd love your review too.

Just search "ACT Youth Theatre Penrith" on Google.

That's a wrap on Summer School 2026! 🎭✨**

What an incredible few weeks it's been — Frozen, Wicked and Mamma Mia! all brought to life by our amazing young ACTors across Penrith and Carlisle.

A HUGE thank you to every actor who threw themselves into it, and to all the families who came along to watch the performances.

We also couldn't have pulled it off without our brilliant ACT student helpers — thank you for give up your time to help out.

Now it's time for a well-earned rest — the ACT team is officially on holiday for two weeks! 🌴

We'll see you all again in September, ready for more performances.
