Spotlight on the Sector Podcast #2 – Mhari Reilly

Spotlight on the Sector - Mahri Reilly

We are pleased to share the second episode of Spotlight on the Sector with Mahri Reilly from Scottish Youth Theatre in Glasgow who talks about the risks and rewards of sudden organisational change and the importance of little acts of kindness.

Spotlight on the Sector is a series of short podcasts where we interview youth theatre leaders in Scotland as they respond and reflect on the Covid-19 pandemic and the impact it has made to their work.

Future episodes will include Matthew Swan (Regal Young Company, West Lothian) and Lisa Keenan (Tron Theatre, Glasgow).

Upcoming changes to our membership scheme
Our membership scheme has always been central to our role as the development body for Scotland’s youth theatre sector, but it hasn’t undergone a major update in more than a decade. This means the structure reflects the needs of a sector from ten years ago – not the one we have today. For 2026, YTAS are refreshing our membership scheme to make it a better fit for today’s sector.
