District-14 Youth Theatre
“A humanising force for good”
District-14 Youth Theatre was established in June 2016 when we started drama workshops from Gresford Trust Memorial Hall. Following our debut performance, an adaptation of John Wyndham’s novel, ‘The Chrysalids’, we moved to the atmospheric ROC2 Studios in Borras where we rehearsed our second major production, Lewis Carrolls’ ‘Alice in Wonderland.’ After two sell-out evenings at Tŷ Pawb in September 2018, we waved, with a heavy heart, goodbye to ROC2 Studios and said hello to weekly workshops in the performance space at Tŷ Pawb. Located centrally, we are now in a position to attract many more young people than we were previously able to. District-14 is open to young people between the ages of 11-16.
Our overriding aim is to provide local youngsters with opportunities to develop a wide range of life skills through drama: self-esteem; creative problem solving; self- and social awareness, empathy, thinking skills, resourcefulness and imagination.
We are committed to producing one major theatrical production per year. In between times, our students take part in drama workshops designed to develop skills and understanding of the world.
