YOUTH ADVISORY BOARD 2025/26
Our Youth Advisory Board is a group of young leaders aged 12-18, helping shape the future of GSC.
At GSC we’re committed to making exciting, engaging theatre experiences for everyone. We want to give more young people a positive first experience of theatre and Shakespeare, and to encourage them to keep coming back. We want to ensure young people are at the heart of our decision making, that their voices help us to continue to be as inclusive, welcoming and diverse as possible.
Young people might connect with GSC through programmes like our drama clubs, the GSC Young Company, as audience members, and participants in school workshops. Therefore it’s important that these voices are at the centre of this work, sharing their bold, innovative ideas with us . Our new Advisory Board will contribute to our decision-making process through regular meetings exploring different areas of GSC such as programming, marketing, accessibility and our engagement work.
