Prime Theatre

Youth Theatre Together is inviting EVERYONE involved in youth theatre to help write the future of the sector. 🎭

Prime Theatre is part of a number of organisations setting up Youth Theatre Together as an organisation dedicated to young people and youth theatre in England. Our Strategic Plan will set out our key aims and objectives for the next 3-5 years.

We need your ideas for this plan, especially if you are a member (or former member), leader, assistant, parent, carer, access worker, designer, production team member, supporter or any other role in youth theatre.

We have created a basic structure for the Strategic Plan, based on the priorities articulated by more than 150 youth theatre leaders and participants at our YTT event in Manchester in 2025.

Your comments, ideas and suggestions will help us make sure our plan feels useful, relevant and inspiring for everyone involved in Youth Theatre.
