Hive Youth is a Theatre and Fine Art school for young creatives across the Hunter and Lake Macquarie region.

We offer dynamic classes in acting, drama, and musical theatre for school-aged students, as well as Musical and Dramatic Productions.

Experienced, professional theatre teachers encourage skill development and inspire creative potential.  Our nurturing environment and personalised approach builds confidence and encourages self expression.  Small class sizes ensure every student feels encouraged and guided, regardless of experience or talent level.

Hive Theatre Students can audition to be a part of our exciting Musical Productions and Dramatic Productions. Four productions per year are held, with the year's season of performances published on our productions webpage.

Established in 2011 as part of Hive Creative Studios, Hive Youth Theatre has rapidly grown to a full production company, holding four to six productions every year, and  dedicated to children and youth age 3 yrs to 18 yrs.
