53°32′28″N 2°06′43″W / 53.541°N 2.112°W The Oldham Theatre and Music Workshop is a youth theatre group based in the north west of England.
Founded by David Johnson in 1968, the Oldham Theatre Workshop has a purpose-built studio located in its own building off Oldham's Union Street, in company with a gallery, a museum and a library.
The workshop provides all-year-round drama training to young people, with classes ranging from the playful and fun 6–8-year-olds, to challenging, devising and practitioner study for those aged 16–25. Each year the workshop produces two large-scale productions — one in December, one in June — which were often staged at the historic Oldham Coliseum Theatre until its closure.[citation needed]
The Oldham Theatre Workshop is now managed by the Education and Cultural Services Department of Oldham, in Greater Manchester, England.
Many well-known actors began and developed their interest in the performing arts at the Theatre Workshop, with previous members including:
