Grand Youth Theatre Company

Drama workshops are currently being held for membership of the GYTC and anyone interested in joining the company for the new term should contact Colin Snell, GYTC, at the Grand Theatre, Blackpool, in the first instance or attend the first workshop on Tuesday 14th September at the Lawrence House Studio Theatre. The GYTC is split into two age groups: 11 - 14 year olds and 15 - 19 year olds but anyone outside these age groups at the time of joining is welcome to contact Colin Snell. Workshop sessions take place normally on Wednesdays, with ten sessions per term, and last for 90 mins. 11- 14 year olds 6.00 - 7.30 pm and 15 - 19 year olds 7.30 pm - 9.00 pm and cover improvisation, scripted and devised work and are designed to encourage solo and collaborative working, creativity, confidence, self-esteem and performance skills. The GYTC is also looking for company members interested in developing their technical and administrative skills and not necessarily interested in being on stage.

Having been formed successfully in September, 2009, the GYTC has made an instant mark with its production of Goldoni's A Servant to Two Masters playing on the main stage at the Grand before a week's run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Plans for this coming year include participation in the National Theatre's Connections programme of new writing, which will be a production of a new piece to be performed in the Lawrence House Studio and also at the Brewery Arts Centre in Kendal, devised piece for the 2011 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and, at the invitation of Richard Demarco of the Demarco Foundation, an open-air performance of a Shakespeare play in the grounds of Craigcrook Castle, Edinburgh, in addition to showcasing work throughout the year.
