Britain, Canada and Australia because through performing, the youth are able to
project a new identity and discover themselves (Courtney, 1980). However, in
Malaysia, theatre has not been embarked forcefully as a developmental programme
for the youth. Thus, the purpose of this study is to determine whether theatre will
be suitable in youth identity development programme in Malaysia. This study

the youth; specifically the development of self-esteem, emotional'matbr&y. and-. : , * ' .

respondents for this study comprised of all the diploma students majoring in
theatre from year one right up to the final year of two higher learning institutions in
Malaysia. The number of respondents responded to the self-administered
questionnaires were 109. The findings show that majority of the respondents have
a high level of self-esteem and self-efficacy. The findings also show that majority
of the respondents have a moderate level of emotional maturity but the overall
respondents' emotional maturity can be considered high as almost half of the
