hmm, think you could take one more?

EDIT: I'm 40 min away from LDN. Please do ask your friend! Could you PM me or reply to this thread once you do? cheeers!

hey, sorry for the late reply (i had exams and stuff ). Just spoke to my friend and she says it's for over 18 young ppl... sorry x:

You have to pay a pretty coin for most drama youth theatres, like Sylvia young and institutions such as that. Do you want to enroll in a well established theatre school, or a more low scale one? If you're swinging towards the latter, then ask an ex-drama teacher or a friend about where the cheapest and local drama centre is, which you can attend on weekends. This could actually be really good for you, because you could help run younger classes in the future, and this would serve as work experience on your Personal Statement for universities showing you really like to get involved in the community. It shouldn't be too hard to find a local drama club, I bet the school or college you go to even has one, so just be vigilant and inquisitive and you'll find what your looking for.

Just wondering, is there a website which you can use to find local amateur dramatics organisations near you?

The Yellow pages website and other sites are useless.

I take it you're interesting in youth theatre too? ^__^

I went on nayt.org.uk, found a lot on there.
Also checked wikipedia (they have page listings for youth theatres, youth organisations on there, though some are abroad so you have to be careful)
And then ofc good old google.

Thanks I'll check those out.
Well I am sorta toying with the idea.
But I really have no idea about any in my local area.

Also I don't want one's for under 18's, as I am in my early 20's.

I would like to find one of those open to people of all ages.

You've heard about NYT (National Youth Theatre)? It's open for ages up til 25. There's also the Lost Theatre (London) which if I'm not mistaken is for ages up til 27... those are all the ones off the top of my head.
I'll be 17 in August, so if you happen to find a group that would take me (I don't want to be the oldest in the group when I'm just starting out!!) then could you please message me or post back here anyhoo good luck!
