The NYMT Experience
We work all year round with young people interested in music theatre. Many of our opportunities are available through our annual auditions and interviews, but we have open-access courses at different times of the year that you can book too.
Audition Workshop Days and Interviews
Many of our opportunities are offered to young actors and musicians who attend our Audition Workshop Days. These take place between January and February at locations around the UK and are open to young people aged 10-23 of any experience level.
Interviews are for people applying to our Creative and Production Pathway.
Productions
Our industry-standard productions are a highlight of the year. We usually produce three or four shows a year. These productions have young people on stage, in the orchestra or band, behind the scenes and on the creative team.
These are fully residential experiences, often with a week's rehearsal during the Easter holidays, and two further weeks in the summer, culminating in public performances in a professional theatre.
Workshops of New Musicals
NYMT has a rich history of commissioning and developing new pieces of music theatre, and our young people are at the heart of this process. Our residential New Musical Workshops are an opportunity to shape the journey of a new piece of music theatre by learning and performing new songs and scenes while giving crucial feedback to the composer and writer.
Courses
There are courses too, giving you the opportunity to develop your skills with our outstanding professionals. And they're not just acting, singing and dancing courses, either: we offer courses for young technicians, composers and creatives. Some of these courses are offered only to young people who attend our annual auditions, while others are available for anyone to book.
Residentials
Some of our courses are residential, giving you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the full NYMT experience. Our pastoral team oversee an experience that is safe and supportive for all of our young people or all ages.
Fees & Bursaries
Each opportunity has its own fee level, depending on the length and nature of the project or course. We rely on donations to offer bursaries to those who would be unable to accept an offer from us without it. If you are in this position, speak to us. We never want finance to be a barrier to anyone wanting to get involved.
