Fund A Bursary

Birmingham Repertory Theatre's youth theatre, the Young REP works with young people aged between 7 and 25 across Birmingham and the West Midlands. Young people work with professional theatre makers to create and produce a broad range of high quality theatrical experiences. 

Taking part in the Young REP provides the participants with valuable experience of interacting with other young people and helps to improve social skills and boost self esteem. However, some of the young people who would most benefit from the skills and confidence that drama can supply are not be able to afford the annual membership fees.

Could you offer a young person the chance to develop their skills and achieve their ambitions?

“Not only do our sons have an enjoyable and fun experience at the Young REP but they have learnt so much more than what they would've learnt in school. I only wish they could attend the Young REP everyday”

Young REP parent

“I never thought I would be good at acting and now I feel confident to stand on a stage in front of a big audience”
