Oldham Theatre Workshop

Founded by David Johnson in 1968 (56 years ago) (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:
