What is The Trybe?
A culturally specific, youth-centred theatre and wellbeing organisation for young Black men
Trybe House Theatre is a unique arts organisation. It's a space where young Black men can be creative, be challenged, and be themselves through workshops, programmes, and productions.
The work sits at the intersection of theatre, wellbeing, identity, and community. Everything begins with a group of young men in a room, making something together.

The results: stronger mental health, new creative skills, pathways into education and employment, and a community that shows up every week.

Why Wellbeing Comes First: Stefan’s Reflection
When I joined Trybe House Theatre as Wellbeing Lead, I’d spent years working in clinical and statutory settings, CAMHS, Youth Offending Services, Catch-22.
