Exciting new additions to our sector training offer

Sector Review 2023… now OPEN!
Every few years, we undertake a review of Scotland’s youth theatre sector to identify how we’re developing as a sector, and how we can develop further. 2023’s survey is now open to all groups who use drama or performance in their work with young people outside of formal education.
Getting #YTbackintheroom
Social distancing has been scrapped and theatres are opening up (again)… This February and March, we’re supporting a series of ‘back in the room’ events to help groups rebuild their work as the world opens back up again.
We need to talk
We’ve noticed something on the increase recently. At first it was just mildly annoying, but as time has gone on, it is affecting our ability to do what we do, so we feel we need to say something.
Join us for the YTAS Wellbeing Challenge!
Summer is almost upon us and the time has come to stretch your legs and take those weary, aching bones out into the world. Join us (and our curated playlist) to breathe new life into familiar surroundings.
