Add your voice to the conversation about the work appearing on our stages
Your opinion matters. Young Critics is where passionate theatre-lovers become critical voices that shape Canberra’s artistic conversation.
In Young Critics, we invite you into the world of theatre criticism as active participants. Through watching, discussing, and reviewing diverse productions across Canberra, you’ll develop your critical eye and voice — learning not just what you think, but how and why theatre works. We’ll equip you with the tools to analyse and articulate your perspective, then publish reviews that add your voice to our city’s cultural dialogue.
This isn’t just about learning to critique. It’s about discovering what matters to you in performance, finding the language to express it, and contributing meaningfully to the ecosystem of artists and audiences that makes theatre thrive.
If you love theatre and have opinions about what you see, this program gives you the platform, skills, and community to make your voice heard. Join Young Critics and become part of Canberra’s critical conversation.
