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.
