THE TALENT SHACK
We are a Cardiff based, not-for-profit organisation enabling young people to access the arts and get inspired about theatre making.
Recent productions:
Young people learn skills with us that will help them achieve in all aspects of their life; confidence, self awareness, body awareness, public speaking, creative thinking, and presentation skills.
We have two venues: The Talent Shack and The Shack Studio, home to The Dance Shack.
We teach all aspects of the performing arts including technical theatre arts. We run volunteer programmes and have scholarships and bursaries available that low income, local families can access easily.

Rock of Ages was such a leap after their last production, Mary Poppins, and everyone rose to the challenge! ![]()

We like to zig zag through styles and eras for each group so they experience a huge variety of Musical Theatre as part of their education with us. So coming out of this Rock zone and going into the Golden Age of Hollywood and the classic MGM musical comedy Singin’ in the Rain ☔️ … just seems perfect.

Looking back at the wonderful photos @twocatsintheyardphotography took of our Youth Theatre 1’s adaptation of Macbeth this term. ![]()

It was such an achievement to stage Macbeth with 6-9 year olds and for them to handle the material so maturely and confidently. Ashley took time to explore the story and characters with the group, breaking down the text so they owned it and loved it. Time was spent crafting their own version so they knew it inside out.![]()

If these kids have Macbeth as their set text in English they are going to smash it!!![]()

A whole new year in September so new members welcome. No experience necessary- just enthusiasm for drama and discovering theatre. ![]()
