Citizens Theatre Summer Academy Celebrates 5th Birthday

This July the Citizens Summer Academy will celebrate 5 years of providing drama and theatre experiences for kids and young people during the school holidays.  Originally started in 2008 due to the demand for the theatre’s weekend drama classes, the programme which also runs during the Easter holidays has gone from strength to strength.

Over the years the Citizens Learning team has worked with hundreds of kids between the ages of 4 – 16 years from across the city and beyond allowing younger participants the chance to meet new friends, learn drama skills, and work with professional drama tutors; whilst older participants engage with specialist tutoring from dedicated theatre professionals and get the chance to rehearse and perform in one of the UK’s most iconic theatres.

“My son didn’t want to leave at the end of the day. He thought it was just wonderful…“Parent of participant.

This summer one of the key themes will be ‘celebration’ tying in with not only the Citizens own landmark anniversary but also recent Jubilee activities and the forth-coming Olympic Games. Angela Smith from Citizens Learning said:

“The aim of the Summer Academy is to provide a creative, friendly and fun environment for children and young people during the school holidays. It feels like a big family and we really get to know the kids well during their time here. We pride ourselves on offering high quality drama courses and our high rate of return participants is a testament to what we are achieving”.
