    Situation

    In 2016 Perth Youth Theatre (PYT) will celebrate its 50th anniversary. As Scotland’s oldest Youth Theatre PYT has trained and developed some of the nation’s most talented theatre-makers like Ewan McGregor, Iain Grieve and more recently Sally Reid and Ross McKay. To celebrate the numerous achievements of PYT alumni and offer brand new creative and performance experiences for current members living in Perth and Kinross, we will deliver a year-long Perth Youth Theatre 50th anniversary project.

    Solution

    As well as providing a large-scale celebration of the legacy of PYT, our project will focus on three key themes – participation, progression and provision – by encouraging participants to fully contribute and take creative risks; by creating regular encounters for PYT members to meet and collaborate with PYT alumni; and by making PYT more accessible through the provision of satellite theatre skills/performance workshops.
