Musical Theatre remains one of the most popular participatory choices for young people in the performing arts. Access is open for musicians, singers, dancers, actors and those interested in back stage work. Audiences are very keen to attend MT performance and the opportunities for work with high production values are readily available. A company dedicated to this work with young people across Scotland will deliver exciting, vibrant and positive opportunities for all young people in venues that are on their doorstep whilst developing from, and feeding back into formal school education.

SYMT will work initially with young people aged 8 – 19 offering dedicated programmes for specified age groups dictated by topic/production. We would then hope to extend the programme to include younger children – eventually to pre-school- and to offer ‘graduates’ extended opportunity once they grow beyond the upper age range.
