This book defines the youth theatre process by outlining its constituent parts and explaining how these activities work in order to support young people’s development. As well as describing what is done in youth theatre, it also explores why it’s done and how to ensure the best possible outcomes. As well as giving key tips and advice from his own invaluable experience, the author includes comments from practitioners and participants on what makes a successful youth theatre experience. The book also contains two appendices: a list of over 60 games for use in youth theatre and a list of recommended further reading that supports this book.
