Throughout January and February YMT will be searching for around 250 of the most talented, vibrant and energetic young performers, musicians and stage managers aged 11-21 to join our national company. We devise and commission brand new musicals every year, and you could be part of that creative process, gaining a unique residential training experience. Our professional directors, composers and choreographers work all over the world and we stage shows at some of the most respected theatre and arts festivals in the country.

If you're looking for a unique way to spend your summer, come along to one of our workshop auditions to be in with a chance of joining the cast of a YMT production. You'll stay in residential accommodation whilst rehearsing, so you could have the opportunity to travel to somewhere else in the country and make friends with people from all corners of the UK - if you live in Aberdeen, you could be in a show in Leeds, or if you're from Cardiff, you could end up in Plymouth!
