Youth groups and schools across the country are celebrating the Drama & Theatre Education Alliance’s Seize The Day initiative as part of its World Performance Week, between 20 and 27 March. 

The celebration builds on last year’s events where the DTEA co-ordinated events led by schools, theatre companies and associations including National Drama and Frantic Assembly. 

The DTEA has encourages schools, colleges, universities, theatres, arts centres, youth groups, drama practitioners and theatre companies to invite their MP, local councillors and press to experience their events, which can include drama classes, workshops and performances with young people.
