Stage Door 1 Youth Theatre - Children and young people's activities

What we do

Stage Door 1 Youth Theatre was created in 2007 to provide an avenue for children from all social backgrounds to be able to increase their confidence, creativity and consideration for others through the medium of drama, dance, song and musical theatre.
We are the resident Youth Theatre in CADS Market Theatre, Cowbridge.

Who do we support

From humble beginnings with around eight children, we are now the resident Youth Theatre in CADS Market Theatre, Cowbridge and have a membership in excess of over seventy young people aged from 5 to 18, rehearsing and performing at least three shows each year, usually:
‐ A full SD1 Youth Theatre production;
‐ An production for our infant and junior groups
‐ A senior cast production.
There are also opportunities for our members to take part in performances for local events, plays, and showcase evenings.
