The
Questors Youth Theatre
I am director of the Questors Youth Theatre. This is a professionally
run youth theatre which comprises part of the education arm of the
Questors Theatre, Ealing. The Youth Theatre currently comprises
some five hundred members (aged between six and seventeen) who attend
weekly classes and as such form one of the largest independently
run youth theatres in the UK. We stage a designated youth production
every year, make a sizable contribution to the annual Christmas
production and run a wide variety of showcase events, Easter and
Summer Courses.
