The Theatre Shed: Where Inclusive Theatre Flourishes
We are an inclusive theatre company dedicated to enriching lives through professionally led Performing Arts workshops in Chesham and Amersham. Our members cultivate their talents in acting, singing, dancing, and physical theatre within a nurturing and secure environment.
We're all about fostering self-expression and boosting confidence in our young people. Together, we embark on an exciting journey of creativity, collaboratively crafting original productions from inception to realisation, helping each member grow in their artistic journey and increase their self-esteem.
CREATIVITY
Our Performing Arts workshops are professionally led and allow members to explore skills including acting, singing, dancing and physical theatre all in a safe and supportive environment.
We encourage our young people to lead skills-based workshops and devise their own creative productions, from concept to completion, with freedom of self-expression and ownership of their work. Join today!
INCLUSIVITY
We open doors to the Arts. Our commitment to inclusivity and accessibility shines through mentorship and Bursary Schemes that ensure the Arts are within reach for everyone.
We work with people of all ages and backgrounds, delivering exceptional, thought-provoking, and ultimately captivating theatre experiences. We take pride in our audition-free approach, as we firmly believe it ensures the stage is open to every aspiring talent to participate in the world of Performing Arts.
COMMUNITY
We believe in the power of performing for an audience. Throughout the year, we dazzle audiences with a series of dynamic shows, each meticulously crafted by our talented members, complete with original music.
While we call Chesham and Amersham home, our young artists have taken their creations on the road, gracing the stages of renowned festivals like Brighton and Edinburgh Fringe, sharing their artistic passion with the world. Make a donation!
“Our world would be a bleak place without art, music, theatre and live performances. Giving all young people the space and encouragement to express themselves and work together as equals is what Shed does so well. Theatre Shed is such a wonderful concept - what’s not to admire about such an inclusive ethos?”
- Sarah Green MP, Patron
