Places on the courses will cost £5.
The programme is being run in partnership with Oldham Theatre Workshop and will take place in The Space at Mahdlo.
Three projects will be available, Create as a Company, Performance Lab and Mahdlo Show Makers.
Participants will be able to develop performance skills, learn spoken word and dance, explore their own ideas and work towards creating an original show for Christmas.
The programme is open to young people aged eight to 19, with places available up to the age of 25 for those with additional needs.
Sessions will begin on 28 September and run on Monday and Tuesday evenings.
Kate Bennett, operations manager at Mahdlo Youth Zone, said: “We are so pleased to be launching our partnership with Oldham Theatre Workshop, with an exciting set of fun and inclusive programmes that will open doors to theatre at Mahdlo.
“We would encourage all young people in the community to come along and get involved, whether you’re an experienced performer or wanting to try a particular theatre skill for the very first time.
“There really is something for everyone, and we’re so excited to see what young people create together.”
James Atherton, artistic director at Oldham Theatre Workshop, said: “We know the difference that being part of a creative group can make to a young person’s confidence, sense of belonging and aspirations.
“Mahdlo and Oldham Theatre Workshop share a real commitment to creating opportunities for young people across the borough, and we’re really excited to see where this partnership can lead.”
