Teenagers braving a Youth Theatre Class

Derek Oliver • January 15, 2018

Diary of a Drama Teacher...

We had new students trying out our Youth Theatre classes last week. Sometimes I think it is harder for teenagers to take the plunge and go somewhere new than it is for 5 year olds. They are more self-conscious and anxious about new experiences. They come in unsure, nervous and uncomfortable - and leave having had a brilliant time saying they are definitely coming back next week! New doesn't always have to be scary... it can be the start of something amazing!
