National Youth Theatre

The National Youth Theatre of Great Britain (NYT) is a charitable body that educates, entertains and inspires young people from diverse backgrounds across the UK, from the ages of 13 to 21. Using drama training alongside mainstream education or as an alternative to formal education, NYT seeks to ensure that young people across the country are offered the opportunity to fulfil their potential.

NYT's philosophy is that participation in creative cultural activities gives young people the tools to discover their voices, describe their experiences and seize opportunities for change, making a real difference to their lives. NYT is much more than just a theatre company. They are a vibrant centre of innovation and creativity, encouraging young people of all backgrounds to develop their artistic talents. It provides them with platforms for their work on stage, film, radio and online, and also acts as an educational centre for life, after which young people can go on to succeed in whatever path they choose to follow.
