These will run every Monday until 27th March and then throughout the school year.

The hall will be open from 4pm. Parents are welcome to come and see what the classes are about, we would need them all to fill in a registration form when they bring their children for the first time.  We can help with that. Everyone is welcome from these groups, and we hope to run this more 

Great visit to the see Mandela the Musical at the Young Vic for BYT members. Brilliant production, both greatly moving and inspiring.

We’ve had an amazing summer jam packed full of activities, which included our two HAF projects, that ended in a trip to KEW Gardens, to see Jungle Book. Participants and their families then spent the rest of the day exploring the KEW Gardens and all its features. 

Now we are back for our new term of regular workshops which begin on Friday September 9th 4.15 – 5.45pm

The workshops use drama as a fun and exciting tool to:

• Build confidence, communication, interpersonal and creative skills; 
• Develop literacy skills, and support the school curriculum; 
• Build acting and performance skills and give young people access to the profession. 

Young people will engage in fun, creative activities providing a positive outlet for their energy and an alternative to more negative activities and behaviour.

New members welcome so contact us if you would like to join.

BYT Theatre trips are back and we are very grateful to our theatre friends and partners for providing BYT members with a chance to see such great theatre and performances. Recently, we have had a great and intriguing time with visits to the Young Vic, to see Collaboration and Oklahoma, and the ENO to see The Handmaids Tale, and we have some more visits planned.

We’ve had a fantastic couple of weeks with our Holiday Activities and Food Project, which took place over the Easter Break, now we are back with our regular weekly workshops. 

Over the course of last term, BYT members across both projects took part in performance workshops, casting and auditions, theatre trips, T.V. appearances – and most of all having fun in a great supporting environment.

BYT Main Group, Fridays 6pm – 8pm
