"I have enjoyed doing the youth workshops and I always look forward to it. It's great to do and it helps me with my GCSE drama."
"I have been a member of the Chesil for over six years and have truly taken something from and enjoyed every weekly workshop. The dedication of the leaders is incredible and I have learnt so much about all aspects of theatre." "Attending workshops has opened so many doors for me at the Chesil, and I have loved being involved in all aspects of theatre life."
"we learn new skills in drama, have made new friends and its FUN!"
Ex-members
"I joined Chesil Youth Workshop at the tender age of twelve and was lucky enough to be involved in its classes and productions right up until the sixth form. I now realise how fortunate we were to be able to benefit from the experience and skill of many of the more mature members of the Chesil Theatre Company."
"Since going to university my involvement in student theatre as an audience member, a critic and an actress and my enthusiasm is due in no small part to my time at the Chesil. I have no doubt that what I learned in Winchester has given me a huge advantage in the competitive world of student theatre."
