YOUTH THEATRE
A place to crack open young people's creativity
Hatch is a weekly youth theatre group run by Tin Shed Theatre Co in partnership with The Riverfront, offering a friendly and welcoming space for young people of all abilities.
Participants can explore all aspects of theatre-making, guided by professional artists, and work together to create unique experiences tailored to their interests. There’s no audition process, making it open to everyone, and friends are welcome to join in the fun. Hatch is all about fostering creativity in a supportive, inclusive environment where young people can learn, collaborate, and grow.
Join us for a free one-week taster session to see if Hatch is the perfect fit for you!

WHERE & HOW
Place – Riverfront Theatre
As a company that operates professionally from out of Newport, we are committed to making this work happen within the city. With the support of The Riverfront, we are able to provide these workshop provisions at the lowest possible rate.
By being a part of The Riverfront we are able to offer young people a creative and professional environment in which to exist.
With the use of their studio, basement and performances spaces we hope to inspire young people to envision a plausible future working within the theatre industry. With exposure to almost all professional elements of “making work happen”, HATCH students do not only perform, but they also write, direct and even tech their own shows.
How – Hatch is currently unfunded by any larger organisation. The money each participant pays goes towards the three workshop facilitators wages, materials for the running of the workshops, and the performances themselves.
