Summer Youth Project
The first Summer Youth Project took place at the Wyvern Theatre in 1994 with Bugsy Malone and was one of the first community ventures of its kind in the local area. Since then it has become an annual tradition and many young people have been involved in the Projects over the years.
The aim of Summer Youth Project is to provide up to 200 youngsters, aged 9 – 21, with the opportunity to work together in a professional theatre. The two-week project culminates in five performances of a full-scale musical under the supervision of a highly skilled creative team including a professional Director, Choreographer, Musical Director, Musicians, and Technical team!
We are delighted to announce that our Summer Youth Production will be returning with a big splash in 2024 with Disney's The Little Mermaid! Held in the summer holidays (Sun 4 - Sat 17 August 2024) we take over the theatre to mount a large scale musical theatre extravaganza. Wish you could be Part of This World? We are looking for enthusiastic, committed, and talented young people, aged 9 – 21, for on stage and, and 16 - 26 for backstage, to take part in our next all-singing, all-dancing, musical extravaganza Under the sea!
