It was established in 1968 and currently has over 80 members aged between 11 – 19. We run theatre skills classes for our members and also put on regular productions at Square Chapel, Halifax and elsewhere.

CTS is a member of the National Association of Youth Theatres and regularly attends the Big Youth Theatre Festival run each year by NAYT. We are also members of ISTA (The International Schools Theatre Association) and since 2004 we have attended Theatre Festivals in Holland and Belgium. Last year we hosted a Festival in Calderdale where we welcomed young theatre enthusiasts from Dubai, Stavanger and Madrid. Last month a group of 10 sixth form students took part in the International Schools Theatre Association Festival in Budapest.
