How can my school be involved?
Every year we create our program with school audiences in mind. By liaising with our schools advisory board, carrying out surveys, and considering valuable feedback we aim to continue to deliver productions that will inspire and engage young people from all over the UK. If you would like your school to be involved with our work we can bring our auditions workshop to your school, or bring a school trip to one of our latest shows and take advantage of our group discounts.

National Youth Theatre Careers Fair | 10th February 2021
We recently conducted a survey with teachers across the UK about how the National Youth Theatre can best support you and your students during this time.
