Help us shape the story of our 2025 community production...

We are planning a new large-scale community production to take place during the summer of 2025 and we are looking for research volunteers to help us… 

Focusing on the life of York social reformer and philanthropist Seebohm Rowntree, volunteers will be delving into the fascinating history of the period and the life of this famous York figure to shape the theme of the production.  

Volunteers will be working to support playwrights Misha Duncan-Barry and Bridget Foreman, who will be developing the script for the brand-new show.

Bridget’s writing credits include previous YTR community productions Everything Is Possible: The York Suffragettes and In Fog and Falling Snow (co-written with Mike Kenny) and Misha is a playwright in residence at YTR and was the Assistant Director on the 2023 community production Sovereign. 

An event will take place in our Studio on 2nd May at 7PM to find out more about what the research project entails, including practical tips on research skills. Book your free ticket to attend. 

Further opportunities to volunteer with the project will be announced later this year. 

A new fundraising campaign ‘I love community theatre’ has also launched which calls for donations to help the theatre continue to make accessible, community theatre for all. Details on how to donate can be found here.
