ALL ABOUT US

The Cotswold Youth Theatre is a vibrant, inclusive space where young people can explore and develop their creative potential. It offers a safe environment where voices are free to be heard, and diversity is celebrated. With sessions catering to various age groups—from 4 to 18 and home-educated children. It creates multiple productions a year, along with opportunities to take part in Arts Awards and LAMDA exams. The community is united by a love of theatre, with fun activities such as theatre trips, all fostering creativity, confidence, and friendship.

​

The Cotswold Youth Theatre was established in 2022 by Sarah Dowie, a Theatre Studies graduate from Lancaster University with a postgraduate focus on directing. She brought over 20 years of teaching experience to the youth theatre. Inspired by her passion for directing and nurturing young talent, she created this group to give local youth weekly access to performing plays, building confidence, friendships, and industry readiness.
