What We Do

Each year, we bring young people together to create original, world-class theatre. From historical epics to contemporary stories, our productions explore Kenya’s past, present, and future.

• Kesho Amahoro – a story of peace and resilience after conflict.
  
  

• Albatross: Wings of Freedom – exploring the East African slave trade.
  
  

• The Iron Snake – the history and legacy of the East African Railway.
  
  

• Matumaini – stories of hope and transformation.

We offer young people the chance to grow their skills both on and off the stage.

• Acting, Voice & Movement
  
  

• Writing & Directing
  
  

• Technical Theatre – stage management, design, lighting, sound
  
  

• Masterclasses with leading Kenyan and international artists

• With the National Youth Music Theatre (UK) and National Youth Theatre (UK), we’ve run exchanges, residencies, and performances abroad.
  
  

• Through grants and cultural collaborations, we’ve delivered specialist skills training that empowers Kenyan youth for the future.
  
  

Theatre skills are life skills — confidence, teamwork, empathy, leadership.

We take theatre beyond the stage and into schools and communities.

• School Residencies → bringing theatre training into classrooms.
  
  

• Community Projects → using theatre for dialogue, empowerment, and healing.
  
  

• Youth Arts Festivals → platforms for young people to showcase creativity.
  
  

Key Collaboration:
With The Elephant Queen Outreach Kenya, YTK has co-created programs that use theatre to inspire environmental awareness and conservation.

Theatre becomes a tool for education, advocacy, and social change.
