Raw Talent Youth Theatre

Raw Talent Youth Theatre is a truly wonderful thing. Based in Sutton Coldfield, it provides kids from 6 years upwards with the chance to express themselves, develop invaluable life skills and just have a blooming good time. We're on child number 3 experiencing all these benefits and each one has loved it. Top this off with the fact there is a true family feel to everything at Raw Talent, you can't beat it. Highly recommend!

Both of my children go to Raw Talent and they love it! The sessions and shows have been amazing to raise their confidence, and the groups are run with such enthusiasm and care. My children have ADHD and when school has felt like a difficult place, they have always felt accepted and valued at Raw Talent.

Raw Talent is brilliant! Both my kids have been going for years and they love it. The shows are great, every child gets a part and they are so funny. It's a brilliant place for kids to build their confidence and have fun on stage. I highly recommend it.

They're "Simply The Best"! Is just one of the many popular-culture references that your child might say during a Raw Talent performance.

I'm writing this as a parent of two children who go to Raw Talent. My son goes to an all boys school that does not do drama. Raw Talent is a brilliant way for him to get experience in the performing arts and make new friends. My daughter is a member of the 7 - 11 year old group and it has improved her confidence and focus. We travel with a group of three other children from Handsworth Wood to attend Raw Talent and have done for many years.
