Youth Theatre Costs?
Current Productions

York Youth Theatre runs between September and July in three ten week terms, meeting once a week during term time. We believe process and product are of equal importance and aim to create excellent pieces of Youth Theatre whilst teaching theatrical techniques and fundamental life skills such as teamwork and communication and building self confidence. Previous Youth Theatre Productions include: 1984, The UN Inspector, Private Peaceful and The Trial. We arrange a trip to see a show each term which we link to the Youth Theatres’ work. This invaluable teaching tool develops young people’s theatre making skills and provides an excellent opportunity to develop our members’ theatrical knowledge.

When do we meet?

The Youth Theatre runs between September and July in three ten/twelve week terms, each project group meets once a week during term time. During performance terms additional rehearsals may be called, details of these will be sent to you at this time and no additional charge is applicable.




















How much York Youth Theatre cost?

There is a three tier fee payment scheme, payable each term in advance.
For the financial year 2006/2007 the fees are:

• £58 full fee
• £45 for families on low income (below £11,000 for a single parent family and below £15,000 for a family with two resident parents/carers)
• £25 for families in receipt of means tested benefits.

If you do not fit into one of these categories but would like to request a reduced fee for other reasons please contact us and we will do our best to help.

We also operate a limited access fund for those young people who would otherwise be unable to become involved with York Youth Theatre or for members who are experiencing short term financial restraints. If you would like to apply for this fund please contact the Youth Theatre Director directly

Please be aware that York Youth Theatre is very popular so it may be some time before a place becomes available for you. If there is not a vacancy for you for next term then as soon as a place becomes available at either of your preferred project times we will let you know.
