About Us

Stage2 Youth Theatre is Birmingham’s longest running Youth Theatre with a 34-year history of high quality work and positive, supportive experiences. We have an excellent track-record for providing wide-ranging opportunities to our members, whist being totally open access and promoting equal opportunities in all areas: our primary rule that ‘no one is ever left out’.

Stage2 runs at Queensbridge Secondary School for Sunday sessions. We do two productions a year, one in the Crescent Studio Theatre and one in the Crescent Main House Theatre. For more information about upcoming shows, see our ‘What’s On’ Menu. 

Over the years, we have produced hundreds of 4- and 5-star Productions, delivered termly Workshops and offered Work Experience, Qualifications, Technical Theatre Training and Leadership Schemes to our members (the only youth theatre in the UK to be accredited by the Mentoring and Befriending Foundation). We maintain that anyone should be able to access the Arts, and therefore have always had a Subsidy Fund for anyone who needs it to make sure all areas of our practice is always inclusive.

Anyone from age 7-21 can join, with absolutely zero audition or waitlist. Many members of our company have some kind of additional need or challenge, and our members are vastly diverse in ethnicity, gender identity, sexuality, neurodiversity, age and financial position as well as confidence and experience.
