About Us
Welcome to Portchester Youth Theatre and Portchester Theatre Company (PTC), a vibrant and dedicated performing arts group. Born from a love of theatre and community we offer performers aged 5 – 25 the chance to explore a diverse range of productions, from beloved musicals and classic plays to fresh new works.
About PYT
Classes in Drama, Theatre Arts and Singing technique for 5-15 year olds held at Portchester Community Centre.
The aim of the classes is to have fun, build confidence, self esteem and to build friendships, to learn all aspects in drama, theatre arts and singing in a fun filled, relaxed, no pressure atmosphere.
Please come along and join in the fun and who knows we may even find some budding stars along the way!
About PTC
PTC is a group of older teens and young adults who are working more on their performance skills by doing a mix of performance types.
This means they work on multiple skill sets such as singing, acting and dancing. Not everyone here at PTC is an expert at all three, however there is always something they can do and are encouraged to expand on those skills they are not so comfortable with.
