Directing - Youth Theatre

Peter has directed productions for a number of youth theatre companies.

Most noticebly as Education Officer at The Maddermarket Theatre in Norwich (2000-2004) Peter helped to build a strong youth theatre programme of productions, training classes and  acting examination classes. In excess of four-hundred young people aged six years and upwards attended a range of classes every week at the theatre.

In 2004 Peter helped to establish Norwich Young People's Theatre with theatre practitioners Laura Cordiner and Gail Atkins. The company provides young people aged between five and twenty-five years with a rich programme of acting and musical theatre classes, productions, singing groups and acting examination classes. The company continues to go from strength to strength under the direction of Laura Cordiner.
