Creative Theatre and Playmaking Workshops for Ages 7-15
For children aged 7 to 15, theatre is about creative ownership. Here, students write their own scripts, direct scenes, and collaborate to bring ambitious productions to the stage.

About Young Creators: Programs for Ages 7-15
We do not hand out scripts for children to memorize. In our programs, your child works with peers to adapt Greek myths, twist classic tales, or turn historical events into original plays, learning the mechanics of writing, directing, and blocking along the way.
Beyond Acting: The Playmaking Process
For older students (ages 7 to 15), we bridge the gap between imagination and execution. We run two distinct tiers: Storyweavers for the 7–10 age group and our Advanced Playmaking Production for the 11–15s.
Rather than teaching students to mimic, we teach them to create. The process is a structured journey:
- Scriptwriting & Adaptation: Whether it’s a retelling of Percy Jackson or a historical crossover set in a museum, students spend the first phase brainstorming and writing. They learn that every character needs a motivation and every scene needs a purpose.
- Technical Understanding: Kids learn more than just acting. They are introduced to basic stage blocking, the concept of character development, and how to command a stage.
- The Curtain Call: Our work culminates in real, professional-standard performances at venues like The Blank Canvas above the LTG Auditorium. This isn't a school assembly; it’s a full-scale show where they handle the pressure of live performance, lights, and audience reaction.
Why This Matters
Shyness is not a trait we label. It is a feeling we help children move past. When an 11-year-old directs a scene or a 9-year-old defends their script idea, they aren't just 'acting.' They are practicing problem-solving, negotiation, and teamwork. They are learning that their ideas have weight and that they can be heard.
We operate in established locations across Delhi, including Safdarjung Enclave, Pitampura, and Shalimar Bagh. Whether your child is a budding writer, a natural performer, or just looking for a space to find their voice, we offer a safe environment to explore without the pressure of needing to be perfect.
Theatre with Simran
I believe every child has a voice that deserves to be heard on stage. My sessions aren't about perfecting lines, but about guiding your child through the messy, wonderful process of creating something entirely their own.
