Due to the amount of requests we receive, we are unfortunately unable to provide individual feedback on auditions.

We are sorry you did not receive the outcome you were hoping for. Our panel was impressed by the standard of auditions this year, and we always receive more submissions than we can allocate places for. Please don't be discouraged, as many of our members audition multiple times before being accepted.

Due to the amount of requests we receive, we are unfortunately unable to provide feedback or reconsider audition outcomes.

In the meantime, there are lots of ways to get involved with NYT. Booking is currently open for our masterclasses and Drama Clubs, which are open to everyone and do not require an audition to attend.

Additionally, as a Hub member, we have loads of ways you can continue to develop your skills and get involved with NYT activity. More information can be found by logging in to your Hub account.

Thank you for taking the time to audition with us this year and we hope to see you in the future.

Unfortunately places on our reserve list have already been allocated.

Places will be offered to those on our reserve lists if anyone drops out of a course. We will be in touch if a space becomes available for you.

Places need to be accepted by Friday 1st May (under 18s) or Friday 8th May (over 18s); it is only after this date that people may be contacted off the reserve list. Please be aware that reserve list places can be offered at any point up to the start of the course.

Course fees are as follows.

After you complete your acceptance form, you will receive an email on Wednesday 6th May (under 18s) or Wednesday 13th May (over 18s) with a link to make your payment.

Bursaries are also available, which you can apply for once you receive your result. For more info about these, please see our bursary page here.

All course details - such as price, dates and next steps - can be found in your results email.

Closer to the start of the course you will also receive an Information Pack. This will be sent out by early July. This will include further information on the course staff, the venue and anything you might need to prepare.

For Epic Stages, this course will take place on the University Square Stratford campus at University of East London (1 Salway Rd, London E15 1NF).

For any urgent information requests, please email nytresults@nyt.org.uk.

To become a NYT member, you must attend the full length of your course, or 90% attendance at a minimum.

We are unable to authorise any absences except in cases of extreme circumstances, and unauthorised absences may mean we are unable to award your membership at the end of the course and you may not be eligible for future casting opportunities.

If you feel your situation is an extreme circumstance, please complete this form and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Please note: if you are receiving GCSE or A Level results during your course, you are permitted to miss the morning of Results Day in order to collect your results.

We are unable to defer places on our courses except in cases of extreme circumstances. Should you be unable to attend this year, you will need to re-audition for a course in the future.

No - the deadline to accept your place is Friday 1st May (under 18s) / Friday 8th May (over 18s), but you do not need to make your payment until Wednesday 1st July.

This is after bursary results are released, so if you apply for a bursary and do not receive it, you will still have time to make your course payment before the deadline. For more information about bursaries, please see our FAQ page here.

If you plan to accept your original course if you are unable to change course, please accept your place.

If you are unable to take part unless you are moved course, please wait to hear back from us. Please note that we are currently handling a very high volume of emails, and as such it may take slightly longer than usual to get back to you. Thank you for your patience at this time.

If you are hoping to attend the course with the support of a bursary, please accept your place.

If you do not receive the bursary outcome you are hoping for, you will be able to withdraw your place if necessary and will not be required to make your payment for the course.

Accommodation is only provided for our Leeds course. This will be available on a first-come first-served basis once it goes on sale on Wednesday 10th June via the NYT website. If you are attending this course, you will receive a reminder email with the booking link in advance of this date.

Please note: all other courses are non-residential. If you need accommodation for a non-residential course, you will need to arrange this yourself. We are unfortunately unable to provide accommodation recommendations.

For residential courses, there is the option to book nearby accommodation.

You will be staying in single student bedrooms (all with private en-suite toilet/shower facilities) in shared, self-catering flats, each with its own kitchenette.

Food is not provided, and participants are responsible for organising their own meals. There are local supermarkets nearby where food can be purchased. We advise bringing any specialist food with you.

If you have been offered a place on the course, bursary information can be found in your results email.

For more information, please visit the bursaries page.

The payment deadline is Wednesday 1st July.

If you have been offered a place, you will receive a separate email with a link and instructions to make your payment after you have accepted your place.

If you are applying for a bursary, you do not need to make any payments right now. After submitting your application, you will hear back from us about whether you have been awarded a bursary. You will then be able to make any remaining payments if applicable.

After you have paid you will receive a confirmation email. If you have not received your payment confirmation, please email us at nytresults@nyt.org.uk.

If you miss the payment deadline, you risk losing your place on the course. If your case is an extreme circumstance, please contact us at nytresults@nyt.org.uk.
