Welcome to Theatre4youth

Theatre4youth is a venture of Assitej South Africa. Assitej South Africa is a network organisation for people working with or interested in theatre for young audiences, associated to Assitej International (an organisation for theatre for children and young people based in over 80 countries world-wide). We believe that every child has the right to experience high-quality theatre designed especially for them, and to explore imaginative and creative interpretations of the world around them, through the arts. 

The Theatre4youth site serves as a facilitating bridge between theatre and education, making it easy for schools to book excellent productions for their learners, and for theatre companies to tour productions to schools. It moderates the quality of the theatre presented in schools through a participatory feedback system, serves as a space for local artists to develop collaborations with communities as resident artists, and assists theatre companies in making their work more relevant and accessible to schools.
