In this dynamic week-long intensive, young people will become the founders of their own theatre company, collaborating to create bold, original work around the issues they care about most. From climate justice to identity, friendship to mental health, participants will explore how theatre can be a powerful tool for expression, activism, and connection. Through devising, script writing, character development, and performance techniques including puppetry and songwriting, they’ll gain practical skills in storytelling, leadership, and collaboration. This week will culminate in a showcase of their original work where participants will launch their very own company into the world! This performance open to all friends and family from 3:30pm on the final day. About Questors Theatre The Questors is one of the largest community theatres in Europe, with a membership of around 1,500, of whom around 600 are actively involved in productions. Situated in Ealing, West London, we offer our members a wide range of activities and social events, in addition to a season of around twenty shows a year, a variety of courses and workshops, and a regular programme of visiting companies. We also have a very lively social club in The Grapevine Bar. Members can get involved in all aspects of production, as well as participate in the running of events, marketing, front-of-house, and other activities. Since our foundation in 1929, The Questors has had a reputation for achieving the highest standards, both in the quality and the professionalism of its productions. With our own theatre complex (the flexible Playhouse seats around 340 people and the Studio caters for more intimate audiences of around 90), rehearsal space, workshop and professional-standard technical facilities, we offer opportunities for excellence in all areas of theatre production and design. As well as exploring the mainstream of modern and classical world drama, The Questors has always been respected for championing new or rarely performed plays, and for encouraging experimentation.
