Tameside Youth Drama Group

Tameside Youth Drama Group TYDG is a youth drama group based in Dukinfield. We welcome members aged 6-18 years old, and perform 2 shows a year at Hyde Festival theatre.

We are open to children aged 6-18, and meet every Wednesday evening at Rayner Stephens High School, Yew Tree Lane, Dukinfield from 6:15-8:15pm. The group was started in 1986 by Dennis and Jean Nash at Rycroft Hall in Audenshaw. It has been very successful for over 30 years and many of our past members have taken up careers in the theatre as dancers, actors, stage crew and costume designers. We do

two shows a year, a Pantomime in January and a Musical in July. A number of our past members are now leaders of the group, many of which have over 10 years teaching experience. All our shows are performed at Hyde Festival Theatre. Our committee members, leaders, stage crew and helpers are all volunteers and do not receive any remuneration or expenses for their time and expertise. We keep our membership, show fees & weekly fees at an affordable price to enable children from all backgrounds to join and learn about the joys of performance. All leaders and helpers are DBS checked and several are also First Aid trained and Safeguarding certified.
