Let's Feast for the Future!

This November, hundreds of people will be sharing meals, on one special weekend, to raise money for the National Youth Theatre. Sign up to host a supper now! You can check out recipes, tips and more on our Supper Club Tumblr here.

Help us to raise vital funds by hosting a fun supper club with friends! Simply ask them to donate the equivalent of what they would spend at a favourite restaurant to NYT. All of the money raised will go towards the NYT bursary fund. It all starts with you.

Last chance to book: October Masterclass

If you’re looking for an intensive short-course to boost your skillset and receive professional feedback, there’s a space on one of our Masterclass Courses with your name on it.

Half-Term Masterclasses now available:
Acting for Screen in London, Norwich & Manchester
Performing Shakespeare in London
Audition Technique in Brighton, Bristol & London

We still have a few spaces available on our courses taking place from 24th October so grab them while you can if you would like to join us.

Hollie

We were on the road this week meeting students at Southport College and King's Lynn Academy with our educational outreach production of Hollie Can, supported by Esther McVey, which aims to inspire young people to achieve their ambitions.

It was a joy to meet such talented and engaged students at both schools. Our cast of NYT performers were also fantastic - thank to everyone who supported the production!

Classic Car Boot Sale

If you were out and about in London last week you may have spotted some archaic NYT Members running about the streets! Huge well done to the cast of our Classic Car Boot sale immersive performance, who looked extremely dapper in their costumes.

Teachers Event: Directing Young Performers

Our event for teachers last night was a great success and an insightful look into directing young performers. This event gave a group of teachers the opportunity to discover some of the tools and techniques we use when working with young actors. Led by NYT Associate Director Anna Niland, teachers directed some of the cast of Pigeon English and shared best practice in the rehearsal room for large scale productions.

We welcome both English and Drama teachers and youth group leaders to join us at our next event - or pass on the invitation to a colleague. More info here. Should you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us on 020 3696 7064
