With inspirational and inclusive theatre workshops ranging from multisensory storytelling and arts and crafts to dance and drama opportunities for children ages 0 – 12, we base a lot of our Take Part Workshop programme on our professional productions, showcasing how children progress through participating and playing, as well as watching and sometimes performing on our stages!
Please note there are no sessions for weekly classes during the Merton school holidays.

Arts Award
We are able to offer Arts Award as part of our Spring/Summer Term for Act 2 and Youth Theatre.
Arts Award is a nationally recognised qualification for children and young people aged 5 – 25 years old. It can be delivered in a number of ways including theatre visits, one-off workshops and after school clubs.
For those wanting to take the award, no extra time or resource will be needed. Everything will be included during their usual Act 2 sessions where they will enjoy discovering a wide range of arts from theatre skills, movement and more.
Our team of professional theatre facilitators, storytellers and our Arts Award adviser will guide the children on an exciting Arts Award journey with us, where they will all receive their very own certificate on completion of the course.
There is a small additional charge to partake in Arts Award. Arts Award is only available during the Spring/Summer term.
