Forge Youth Theatre offers engaging and supportive drama classes in Bendigo for young people aged 5 to 25.
Forge Youth Theatre is an inclusive creative community in Bendigo for young people aged 5–25. Through age-based ensembles, participants build confidence, collaboration, and storytelling skills while working toward performances that celebrate their stories and growth.
Our programs use a playful but professional approach, blending play, skill development, and ensemble work with a clear progression from our Embers Ensemble for children through to our Forge Ensemble for young adults.
At Forge Youth Theatre, we also have an award system designed to help participants gain skills and knowledge in live theatre development, stagecraft and performance — both on and off the stage. This structured pathway prepares young people for involvement in local community theatre groups and inspires future careers in the performing arts.
At every stage, young people are supported to ignite their imagination, develop their voices, and shine on stage as part of a vibrant theatre family.
