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: Cheddar!
We are a youth theatre community in Cheddar that meet every week on a Wednesday, during term time at the Cheddar Catholic Church Community Hall, Our Lady Queen of Apostles, The Presbytery, Tweentown, Cheddar, BS27 3HU. When signing up, we ask that our members commit to attend every Wednesday throughout the term.
Somerset Youth Theatre:
Cheddar (6-11 year olds) meet Wednesdays 4.45-5.45pm
Cheddar (11-16 year olds) meet Wednesdays 5.45-6.45pm
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.

David Reakes
David is now well into his third decade as a professional actor. He has performed in all four corners of the UK, and as far afield as Norway and Italy. Back in 2017 he worked for five months with the BBC Radio Drama Company and was briefly all over your radio like a big ginger rash.
He also works as a storyteller (using his alter ego The Professor), a playwright (his company, Tor Theatre, which he set up with Angela Laverock) and a teacher.
He lives in Glastonbury and is actually an Elder Bard of the town.
