Market Theatre Kids Club: Award Winning Drama Classes

Hitchin’s Market Theatre has been entertaining audiences for nearly 30 years, and the Kids Club is a huge part of this wonderful venue in Sun Street.

Winner of the Best Activity Class or Group for School-age Children and runner-up for Best Holiday Club or Class in the Mum's guide to Hitchin 2024 Awards, there's a lot to celebrate!

Classes run on Wednesday evenings, Friday after school and Saturday daytimes, with age groups 5-7, 8-10, 11-13, 14-15 and 16+ catered for. All staff are fully qualified teachers and/or professional actors.

Our youngsters enjoy acting classes, singing, movement, poetry, improvisation, script work, drama games and much more. At the end of every term, there is a show for families and friends, and in July, we present an end of year show at the Priory School in Hitchin.

Unlike most other drama schools, we do not charge for the term up-front. Classes are paid for on a weekly basis.

The Kids Club also run LAMDA classes in the Autumn Term. Jo Croydon-Foster, who runs the venture, is an International LAMDA Examiner & Team Leader.

Come and see us! We are always happy to show people round, and children are welcome to try a class for a week to see if they enjoy it…we’re sure they will!

If you have any questions, please contact Jo Croydon-Foster at the Market Theatre.

We hope to see you soon!
