Unistar Youth Theatre
Our free youth theatre and drama classes give children aged 6–16 a safe, welcoming space to make friends, express themselves and grow in confidence.
We take pride in teaching acting and performance skills, with our main focus being on supporting children's social and emotional development. We encourage every child to explore their creativity, step outside their comfort zone at their own pace and discover their innate talents. With the right support and encouragement, we believe every child can reach their full potential.

Our Projects
Common Ground Project
Supported by Spirit of Shankly
Common Ground brought together over 100 children and young people from different communities to explore Liverpool's rich football history and shared heritage through theatre. Using drama, storytelling and performance, young people created original plays celebrating the city's football roots, community spirit and the power of unity. The project encouraged creativity, friendships and a sense of belonging, bringing families and communities together through a shared love of football.
Between the Lines Project
Supported by EVOLVE and Spirit of Shankly
Between the Lines brought together over 80 children and young people to explore important issues affecting their communities through theatre and creative expression. Young people developed and performed original plays exploring county lines, knife crime, belonging and the importance of positive relationships. Through their own voices and experiences, the project raised awareness, encouraged conversations and highlighted the power of community, connection and positive change.
Our Impact

I love being a part of Unistar because it gives me an environment to be creative, connect with others, and share my experiences.
My daughter has got so much out of being involved with Unistar. She’s really developing as an individual, and her confidence has increased each time she goes.
The project gave me something to look forward to and even encouraged me to go into school.
