● Programs for Young People

Workshops

At Shopfront, we provide a safe space where everyone is welcome and supported to express themselves free from judgement, among friends. Our workshops are a great introduction to the Shopfront community, and offers Young People an opportunity to explore Drama, Film-making, Singing, Technical Theatre, and more!

Workshops are offered to age groups 8-10, 11-14 and 15-17.

For information about free trials and other financial support options, see further down the page.

Weekly Workshops

● Drama

Have fun creating stories for the stage and developing performance skills. Unleash your imagination amongst like-minded Young People while building your self‑confidence, co-operation, and concentration.

● Film-making

Learn how to make your own films, from first concepts to finished edits, while developing communication and teamwork skills. We provide the equipment, you provide the ideas.

● Singing

Get your confidence up and learn to sing solo or in a group! Led by our trained professional, this class is all about having fun, learning to use your voice and working with others to make wonderful music. No experience necessary!

● Technical Theatre

Tackle all the ins and outs of what goes on behind the scenes of a stage show! Work on sound, lighting and set design, and get hands-on experience as production and stage managers in this workshop, designed for lovers of tech.

● Masterclasses for Young People

In 2026, we’re offering a variety of smaller workshops, focusing on a different creative subject each term. Shorter than a full term but longer than a one-off, our Masterclasses are just the right size to satisfy a craving for something new!
