Transforming lives through theatre
Our Mission
WCTP has a mission to empower young people in London's disadvantaged communities by realising their potential through high quality, performing arts programmes, delivered by inspirational theatre makers and facilitators.
What we do
We deliver community youth theatre projects, holiday drama projects, school drama and drama therapy programmes.
Our Youth Theatre
The safe environment and family atmosphere at WCYT offers vital support and the opportunity to develop enduring and transferable skills which broaden horizons and lead to increased life chances and long-term wellbeing.
We also run a volunteer scheme for our older members, encouraging them to take responsibility and help the younger children whilst equipping them with new skills. We assist and support our members into further education and work opportunities.
Funding
All our services are free at point of use.
The White City Theatre Project are a charity and we are totally reliant on funding from our supporters and partners.
Aims
The aim of the White City Theatre Project is to provide young people with access to drama and theatre practice, using the energy involved in creating theatre within their community to enhance their social and personal development. Through their personal connections and joint experience Melanie and Lucy aim to connect young people (who would not normally have any access to the dramatic arts) to contemporary theatre. To encourage them to value it, be part of it and be enriched in the process.
