+ Ilkeston Theatre Company

'Formed in 1988 ... At the time, the majority of local Amateur Theatre/Musical Societies required singing and acting auditions to be undertaken before any prospective candidate could become a member, but it was obvious that there many people who have a passion to be on stage, but didn’t have the necessary skills ... This principal is still maintained ... If you are keen, then you are accepted, and taught the rudiments of acting by the director/producer ... Ilkeston Youth Theatre is a place for kids to have fun, meet new people and build confidence in a safe and friendly environment. We aim to put on at least one show a year and come together with the Ilkeston Theatre Company for the annual panto season. Ilkeston Youth Theatre is for anyone aged between 10 and 16.‘
