Youth Voice

The Marlowe Theatre is committed to being an inclusive space where young people can learn, have fun, and develop as leaders and creators. We want to hear young people’s opinions and experiences so that the Marlowe Theatre can grow in response to them. We want young people’s voices amplified so that we can collaborate in shaping a future in which the next generation thrives.

From October 2024 to July 2025, Youth Voice will be embedded in decision-making, co-creating, and advocating for young people. Not only this, but they will get exclusive behind-the-scenes access, enjoy trips and discounts on shows, and take part in exciting training opportunities – all whilst steering the impact of Youth Voice.

Aged 14-21? Passionate about theatre being the best it can be for young people? The Marlowe Theatre Youth Voice wants you!

To find out more, please sign up for our Youth Voice Open Day on Monday 28 October, 10.15am – 1pm.

Please register by our deadline on Wednesday 16 October. Spaces are limited, so please sign up as soon as possible using our online form or by emailing youngpeople@marlowetheatre.com.
