WE DO THIS BECAUSE YOUNG PEOPLE’S VOICES MATTER.
Do you love Acting, Drama, Games and all things Theatre? Would you like to make your
very own plays alongside the professionals?
Then come join us at Somerset Youth Theatre: Wellington!
We are a youth theatre community in Wellington that meet every week on a Saturday, during
term time at the Wellington Arts Centre, Eight Acre Lane, Wellington TA21 8PS.
When signing up, we
ask that our members commit to attend every Saturday throughout the term.
Somerset Youth Theatre:
Wellington (8-14 years old) meet Saturdays 10.00 – 11.30am
We provide safer spaces for young people to create, explore and find their voice through
Theatre and the Arts. Our sessions are delivered by professional Artists and
experienced facilitators with Enhanced DBS.
Sessions are offered using a ‘Pay What You Choose’ payment system. Places are fully
funded for those in receipt of FSM/PP. We understand that not everyone is in the same
financial position, so please pay what you feel you can. We would never turn any young
person away due to cost or access. We believe in Arts for ALL young people. We are
incredibly grateful to our funders and partners who support us to make this happen.

Wellington Facilitators
David Duthie
I am thrilled to be one of the facilitators for Wellington Youth Theatre and feel very privileged to be working with our talented and vibrant young people!
David is also the Course Director at The SPACE (Somerset Performing Arts Centre for Education).
He feels youth theatre works magic because, as young people develop skills in drama, they develop confidence, self-esteem, teamwork and perseverance whilst having the best time ever!
Nancy Powell – Brace
I am very excited to be a part of the new Wellington Youth Theatre, a branch of Somerset Youth Theatre and I am looking forward to bringing theatre skills, creative drama and performance to the young people involved.
Nancy has been involved in the development of Educational Drama and Theatre Skills for over 30 years and, after a break from the classroom is enjoying the return to what she does best; working with young people to develop their confidence in an ever changing world encouraging empathy, generosity and commitment to a team project.
