The Benefits of Youth Theatre for Young Performers
Performing has always been something that I have enjoyed. I started dancing from the age of 3 and went on to join a Youth Theatre as my interest in Performing Arts developed. I was 11 when I joined Middlesbrough Youth Theatre. During the 7 years that I was a part of this company I gained some of the most important skills, advice and friends that I will never forget. I left MYT when I was 18 because I decided that I wanted to go to University in Worcester to study Drama and Performance. Leaving was so hard for me and no one will ever understand the bond you have with people who share the same passion for theatre, unless you have been apart of it yourself. I want to share the benefits of youth theatre for young performers from accounts of past and current members of Youth Theatres in different part of the country.
