Drammen Children and Youth Theatre is a parent-run association founded in 1994, with the goal of being the city's best theatre group for children and young people. The theatre has between 50 and 60 members aged 10 to 18, and focuses on delivering high-quality performances. The organisation places great emphasis on creating cultural experiences in a digital age, while promoting safety and diversity among participants.
In 2022, a theatre school was established with two groups, which together have around 25 children. Rehearsals take place every Tuesday and Wednesday before productions, giving members the opportunity to develop their theatre skills. Drammen Children and Youth Theatre contributes to increased self-confidence and mental health among participants, and aims to create an inclusive environment for all involved.
