Registration now open for world’s largest annual youth drama festival

Registration is now open for Coram Shakespeare Schools Foundation’s Theatre Festival, where thousands of children are invited to perform 30-minute abridged Shakespeare plays on stages across the UK. 

For the first time, Coram Shakespeare Schools Foundation (CSSF) is running the festival over two school terms, with performances taking place during Autumn 2022 and Spring 2023. 

CSSF will work with participating schools throughout the festival process, providing logistical support such as scripts, curriculum resources, in-person CPD training, workshops and teacher support. 

Ruth Brock, managing director of CSSF, said: ‘the theatre festival gives thousands of children and young people from every background, community and school type the opportunity to be creative, be inspired, and be together – things that children need more than ever right now.
