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 TheHandmaids 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.
