About Us

Toonspeak Young People's Theatre provides free drama and theatre activities for young people aged 11-25 living in the North of Glasgow. Click to see a map of the areas we cover.

We do loads of different drama activities throughout the North of the city but our main areas of activity are:

• Free weekly drama workshops in the North of Glasgow for any 11-25’s living in the area.
• At least one large scale production a year which will tour locally and to a city centre venue.
• An outreach programme of bespoke projects to benefit as many young people as possible through partnerships with other local agencies.
• An empowerment programme which encourages young people to take an active role in management through a series of masterclasses and young people's committee's – e.g. Marketing.
• An Adult Drama Training Programme which offers specialist training and development opportunites for anyone living in the North of Glasgow and encourages resource and skill sharing in the community.

Toonspeak's work lets young people have fun and meet new mates in a safe and friendly environment, it empowers young people by giving them opportunities to manage their own project and raises their self-esteem through theatre and drama skills training.   It also contributes to the regeneration of the local area by challenging territorialism and discrimination, bringing together young people from different areas and backgrounds and providing quality entertainment to audiences in North Glasgow.
