Mayflower Engage run weekly Youth Theatre sessions in drama, musical theatre, and production arts for young people.
Our 8 Youth Theatre groups (including Mayflower Juniors) give young people the opportunity to learn new skills, meet new people, and work with experienced theatre practitioners in a fun, supportive and inclusive environment.
Youth Theatre members are given the opportunity to perform in Youth Theatre productions and at various events throughout the year. Recent performances include ‘Stop the Traffik‘, Mela Festival, What’s Next Southampton? and Southampton’s People’s Pride.
