It also offers free drama classes for young people looking to go into an arts career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a mother herself, Ms Kareem explained that having had young boys inspired her to set up the youth academies as she understands the difficulties of getting children into to drama schools, especially with financial constraints.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said: \u201cI don&#8217;t know if there\u2019s anything like it which exists in Sheffield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Its a safe space for young people of African and Caribbean heritage. It\u2019s a safe space somewhere where they can come and speak to people.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The youth academy runs every Thursday from 5 to 8pm and young people can play games in an environment away from school. It\u2019s free to attend and offers a flexible environment with the theatre paying for travel expenses, and food and drinks for the children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms Kareem said the sessions are largely run by the young people themselves and are designed to \u201ccreate the leaders of tomorrow\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"755\" data-id=\"62072\" src=\"https:\/\/sheffieldwire.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-04-20-at-15.49.01_d72f050f-1024x755.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62072\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sheffieldwire.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-04-20-at-15.49.01_d72f050f-1024x755.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sheffieldwire.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-04-20-at-15.49.01_d72f050f-980x723.jpg 980w, https:\/\/sheffieldwire.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/WhatsApp-Image-2024-04-20-at-15.49.01_d72f050f-480x354.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Credit: Amy Britton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>She added that she hopes that the youth academies will inspire young people to \u201cthink about the community a bit more,\u201d and, should they be in positions of power in the future, they will \u201cunderstand what this kind of environment can mean to people\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The theatre is currently working on a production called Death and the King\u2019s Horseman.
