This Week at NYT | Win a chance to perform with us!
Welcome to your weekly news round up of all things NYT...
Southwark Season
The Fall
Rehearsals are in full swing for James Fritz’s The Fall at Southwark Playhouse, directed by Matt Harrison. Take a look at our brand new trailer for the show.
The Fall is a play with heart, humour and fire in its belly that bridges the empathy gap between young and old.
There are a limited number of £12 preview tickets left for the show, so grab one while you can.
Perform with us on a West End Stage
To celebrate James Fritz’s The Fall coming to Southwark Playhouse this April, we’re launching a brand new duologue competition with a money can’t buy prize of performing on a West End stage.
The competition is open to anyone and everyone aged 14 – 26. Whether you’ve been a NYT member for years, or if this is the first time you’ve ever heard of us - get involved!
All you need to do partner up with a friend, and devise and film a performance of the attached duologue from The Fall.
DNA
We had a sneak peek into rehearsals for DNA this week courtesy of this brand new rehearsal photos from Helen Murray, and a Instagram takeover from cast member and NYT Social Ambassador Joseph Payne!
If you missed it, you can also meet the cast of DNA over on our Facebook page where yesterday we hosted a Facebook Live from the rehearsal space.
There are just a handful of tickets left for DNA so book now to avoid disappointment

After a half term break, our Playing Up company have just started their new term at our Holloway Road rehearsal rooms. As well as working on achieving their level 3 Access to Higher Education diploma, the company will be working towards their final production this summer at the Bunker Theatre.
Start Up Saturdays
The new Start Up Saturdays term kicks off tomorrow – and there are still a couple of spaces left on our North London course this term if you know someone 11-14 who would be interested in learning a bit more about NYT.
Booking is also currently open for our six-day Start Up Summer course as well as the next Start Up Saturday term starting in September!
