National Youth Theatre of Great Britain
The National Youth Theatre of Great Britain is a world-leading youth arts organisation. Established in 1956 as the world’s first youth theatre, we have nurtured the talent of hundreds of thousands of young people over 60 years. We inspire, nurture and showcase both exceptional performers and theatre technicians from Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commissioning brave and relevant new writing and reinterpreting classic stories for our time.
We encourage celebrating both onstage and offstage roles and increasing awareness of these viable and vital careers in the theatre industry. We are as ambitious as the young people we serve, platforming young talent on West End stages, in stadiums world-wide and at iconic sites both home and abroad. We are proud to be part of the Stage Sight Collective and share Stage Sight’s vision is to create an off stage workforce that is more reflective of our society today, inclusive of ethnicity, class and disability. As an arts organisation and charity we are committed to changing recruitment practices with equality and inclusivity the core of our work. Our programming is dedicated to developing new learning and training experiences for diverse and talented young people across the UK and Internationally.
