Our programme of work for primary age audiences is as varied as they are.
From one-man interactive musicals, to time-honoured theatrical extravaganzas, to outdoor family shows – our aim is always to entertain, give children an experience to remember and open their eyes to the wonders of their own imaginations.
Connecting with Teenage Audiences. Our audiences aged 12-18 are our big thinkers.
Figuring out who they are, what they believe and their place in the world. We want to figure it out with them. Theatre is a great way to explore ideas and hear other people’s perspectives and we bring teenagers shows which start conversations, stretch their horizons, and hopefully inspire their own creativity and aspirations.
Following the announcement of Creative Wales’ investment in our innovative digital platform, we’re excited to begin exploring its potential and create a high quality, online experience for young people led by young creative voices across Wales.
We believe music is a potent creative force that feeds self-expression, personal development, and wellbeing, and with your help the Anthem Gateway can provide an essential bridge for young people to the music industry.
This month we’re starting the process of commissioning new music creators, in both English and Welsh, and offering paid opportunities to develop our next round of resources.
Whether you’re a musician or local promoter with insights to share, a community music-minded fundraiser, budding marketeer or just have something to say about the state of music today, we’re looking for young people from all backgrounds across Wales to help us tackle subjects that are relevant to you.

Creative teens in Tameside, Rochdale and Oldham are invited to sign up for a free course that could open the door to a career in the arts.
The Creative Careers programme includes a choice of music, dance, or visual arts taster sessions as well as exploring career paths and learning how to stage an event.
Delivered by Tameside Carnival arts organisation Global Grooves, it is open to young people aged 13-18, and will run on weekday evenings at The Vale in Mossley, Tameside, Richard Street Studios in Rochdale and The Old Museum in Oldham.
Over nine sessions, from November 2025 to January 2026, participants will hear from inspirational arts role models and have the chance to chat with them about their own goals and creative ambitions. They will gain a deeper understanding of what it means to work in the arts industry through practical tasks, and have the opportunity to further their skills and knowledge by working with like minded artists already in the industry.
Additional taster days for arts and crew training will run on November and January weekends.
There will also be the chance to join Global Grooves for work experience on large scale events in Tameside, Stockport, Rochdale, and Manchester during November and December.
Global Grooves are particularly interested in supporting young people who are either neurodivergent, have no qualifications, are not currently in work or education, or have faced barriers elsewhere. Young people with additional needs are eligible to join up to the age of 25.
The first sessions will run 6.30-8.30pm on Monday 3 November in Oldham, Tuesday 4 November in Rochdale and Wednesday 5 November in Tameside.
Travel expenses can be claimed back on request.

York Theatre Royal, Harrogate Theatre and CAST are seeking to commission a new 45-minute play specifically for youth theatre groups aged 11–14, in response to the lack of existing repertoire for this age group.
The appointed playwright will work closely with each of the partner youth theatre groups, placing youth voice at the centre of the creative process. They will receive dramaturgical support throughout the development period.
The playwright will lead workshops and develop the script over the course of the 2025–2026 academic year. Performances by each partner’s youth theatre group will take place between September 2026 and July 2027.
