Following our pilot programme collaborating with the Arts and Health Team at Alder Hey, we are running YEP Creative Play from September 2025 – a youth theatre for 8-13 year olds.
YEP Creative Play is FREE and for young people who are currently under the care of Alder Hey Health Teams as an Outpatient and facing disadvantages due to the impact their illness has on their lives. No previous experience of drama is necessary.
Sessions are designed to support young people to connect with their community, develop wellbeing and resilience, and explore their creative storytelling skills – and to have fun!
In sessions you will:
• build confidence
• make new friends
• make decisions together
• explore creativity
• learn storytelling and theatre-making skills
• have an opportunity to share work
• meet creative professionals
Sessions are led by creative artists who have lots of experience working with young people. We are young-person led: this means that we build and create stories together. Young people have agency to make decisions that shape their learning and support each other to grow.
Sessions take place on Saturdays at: Liverpool Everyman Theatre, Hope Street, L1 9BH (Entrance via Stage Door on Arrad Street, L7 7JE at the back of the building)
