                        Young Critics Resource Suite

                        Getting started

                        Facilitators and educators will find a step by step approach to delivering a theatre criticism programme to their group, everything from preparing them for the theatre experience to creating their own reviews.

                        The resource suite is for youth theatre facilitators, youth arts workers, teachers and young people with an interest in theatre. Content is also suitable for youth clubs, in classrooms and for groups at all levels of experience.

                        The resource has been divided into seven sections. For best results you should become familiar with each section in order.
