Youth Music Theatre is looking for aspiring performers and musicians aged 11 to 21 years to join the company, and star in a series of brand new musicals to be staged in London next summer. The budding young stars will have the chance to work with top industry professionals and take to two of the capital’s well-known stages, Sadler’s Wells and the Lyric Hammersmith, as well as the Lyric Theatre Belfast. YMT Auditions 2016 are now open for booking!
As one of the UK’s leading musical theatre companies for young people, Youth Music Theatre’s forthcoming auditions provide an ideal opportunity for individuals eager to kick-start their career in the performing arts. Committed to offering high quality training to talented youngsters, the youth theatre has become well known for producing vibrant and innovative works in the UK’s top venues and festivals while offering training that provides significant personal and educational benefits.
The Performer Auditions are 3 hour group workshops led by a professional director, choreographer and musical director, and are informal and relaxed. Nothing needs to be prepared for the day and all abilities are welcome. The team will lead a series of practical and fun activities designed to showcase the applicants’ acting, singing and dancing as well as their ability to work as part of a team. If successful, applicants will join the YMT Company and take part in YMT’s Summer Season of New Music Theatre, which are residential courses with the opportunity to work with a professional artistic team. There the new company will create a brand new piece of music theatre that will be performed in a professional theatre at the end of the project.
Auditions are open to anyone within the age range and will take place at the Lyric Hammersmith on 5 December, 16 January and 30 January.
