Join us this season as we create 2 exciting new shows to be performed at the stunning Parabola Arts Centre in April 2020. With huge excitement, our CYT Company will also perform at Warwick Arts Centre for National Theatre Connections.

CYT meet every Friday at St Edward's School:

Juniors (school years 3-6) : 4.30 - 6.00pm

Seniors (school years 7-9) : 6.00 - 7.30pm

Company (school years 10-11+) : 7.30 - 9.00pm

Company: NT Connections 2020

Company have been selected to take part in the largest Youth Theatre festival in the world! 300 young companies from across the UK will work with 1 of 10 scripts, commissioned by the National Theatre and written especially for young performers.

A National Theatre director will watch our home performance at Parabola Arts Centre and personally meet with our Company afterwards for feedback. We will then transfer to our partner venue, Warwick Arts Centre, and perform alongside other youth theatre companies from our region.

This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase our work at regional level, network with like-minded young companies and work alongside National Theatre and Warwick Arts Centre directors and producers.

Juniors & Seniors

Over the Autumn and Spring terms our Juniors and Seniors companies will be creating a brand new show from scratch!

At CYT, we love to devise our own theatre, rather than working from a traditional script. Our starting point might be an object, story, poem, piece of text, news article, theme, song lyrics or piece of music, and over the weeks we play, explore and mould it into a brand new piece of theatre.

We love to tap into our young people's talents and interests and create theatre that is as exciting and important to them, as it is to us. This is what makes CYT shows so vibrant and original!

We can't wait to announce our new shows at the start of term! Be sure to expect drama, comedy, physical theatre and perhaps even a song or two!
