We are delighted that our young adults will be taking to the main stage this year to bring you an exciting production of this play, which grapples with issues arising from adolescent mental health, and ‘the rage within’.

Told from the perspective of a teenager, with support from a flexible cast comprising various characters, the play considers how people cope when their inner feelings take unexpected forms.

Written specifically with young casts in mind, this play was first performed in 2021,and went on to win ‘best play for young audiences’ at the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain Awards 2023.

This should be a very exciting piece of theatre, and tickets are likely to sell fast.

The Archway Theatre sets the stage for Dingbats Improv, delivering another great evening of unscripted theatrical delights. Witness games, scenes, and stories crafted in the moment.

The night will be a fun mix of performances from a variety of improv acts and improv jam games.

In an improv jam anyone who attends our workshops can jump on stage with other improvisers and have fun making up scenes and stories together. Even if you prefer just to be an audience member, you're guaranteed a delightful night of entertainment.

Whats going on? The phones have stopped working. Social media is being anti-social, even TikTok has stopped ticking! What is everyone going to do now, how are they going to fill their time and how are they going to connect with the rest of the world?

A fascinating look at just what our young people can do, how they can rediscover and reaffirm who they are. Taken from the ideas of the Workshoppers, 'Echoes' will make you think, make you laugh and give you a new insight into what our youngsters feel about their world.

We are excited to bring another original production from our wonderful Youth Workshop. Echoes will explore issues facing youngsters at home and at school.

Featuring elements from their workshops including improvisation and scripted scenes, as well as showcasing their dramatic skills, characterisation and energetic enthusiasm!

A wonderfully crazy, new musical comedy.

The Addams Family is a wonderfully crazy, new musical comedy created by Jersey Boys authors Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, and Drama Desk Award winner Andrew Lippa (The Wild Party) and based on the original Addams Family characters created by Charles Addams. The Addams Family features an original story, and it’s every father’s nightmare. Wednesday Addams, that well known macabre teenager, has grown up and fallen in love.

The only problem is that the target of her affection is respectable and not like the Addams clan at all and what’s more, they have never met him. When she shares her secret with him, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before — keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia.

How will Pugsley cope when his sister doesn’t want to torture him anymore? How will the ‘meet the parents’ dinner go? And what will the Addams family ancestors make off all the shenanigans and secrets?

The only way to find out is to book a ticket and join this spooky family for a truly Addams family adventure.
