"Wharfingers has given me a firm base from which to develop my work as an aspiring actress."

 

 

 

 

Teamwork
Commitment, self-discipline and respect for others are strongly encouraged - and essential to successful team work. Being able to work as part of a team is very important, but so is individuality. We recognise that everyone brings their own unique set of qualities and talents to the group and we provide a range of activities that enables every member of the group to share and contribute, developing their own particular interests along the way.

How we operate
With a combination of practical theatre experience and qualifications in teaching and the arts, the two practitioners offer young people the opportunity to gain a range of theatre related experiences, not available in formal, mainstream education. Each member of the company is expected to conduct themselves responsibly and to maintain a positive attitude; in return they will receive direction, support and encouragement, as they learn to express themselves through a dramatic medium.

Facilities
Wharfingers Youth Theatre is based at the Riverhead Theatre in Louth. The company meets in the studio theatre and so has access to all the resources and technical facilities of a modern, purpose-built theatre. In addition to the regular weekly activities, there are productions, open days, workshops and theatre visits; everything is designed to offer a rich variety of experiences from which to learn and to enjoy.
