National Youth Theatre

The National Youth Theatre of Dominica was once an essential platform for youth engagement in drama and performing arts, offering opportunities for Dominica youth to showcase their talent in stage productions and cultural performances. The theatre may no longer be as active as it once was. In recent years, efforts have focused more on other cultural initiatives, like the New Dimension Theatre, which continues to foster drama and performing arts on the island.

Efforts to engage Dominica’s youth in cultural activities, including theatre, primarily focus on broader initiatives by the National Youth Council and other cultural bodies. These organizations aim to revive youth engagement in arts and culture through various programs, ensuring the preservation of Dominican traditions.

The development of performing arts within schools, particularly under the guidance of the Division of Culture, remains an area of focus to ensure that youth have access to platforms that foster their creativity and personal growth.
