Stage 65 is our vibrant youth theatre, bursting with creativity and imagination!

Stage 65 is led by a team of inspiring theatre makers dedicated to sharing their passion and skills with young people inside an organisation that really knows theatre.

Our Offer:

We focus on building skills and exploring performance techniques, building confidence, and forming social bonds as we create small companies of actors. Every group works towards performances, large and small scale, to ensure everyone has a range of on-stage experiences as they grow up through our groups.

Our Commitment:

We place young people’s interests and ideas at the heart of our work and enable our members to explore themes and performance styles that genuinely matter to them. Every member has the chance to develop their voice, stretch their skills, and shine in unique performance opportunities crafted with them.

We welcome anyone with an interest in the performing arts to our weekly sessions; no experience or audition needed. We can support young people from all backgrounds aged 6-21, and offer support for individuals with additional needs. Financial assistance through bursaries is available.

Enrolment:

If you are interested in joining Stage 65, please ensure you have read the Stage 65 Information Pack, so you understand the commitment involved over the 26/27 academic year.

For those in Groups 4, 5 and Young Company, you must be available for all compulsory dates of the Performance Opportunities to join Stage 65. If you are unavailable, we ask that you do not sign up this year.

Please be aware that we currently have a waiting list for all Stage 65 groups and attending a Taster Session does not guarantee you a place straight away. Places will be offered based on availability on a first come, first serve basis. By signing up to a taster session, you will be automatically added to the waiting list.

If you would like to join Stage 65 following your Taster Session, you will be emailed a payment link and registration form to complete, once a space is available.

If you have any questions, please email takepart@wiltshirecreative.co.uk.
