Tom's blog about being one of the crew at Peter Pan
Over the last few days myself along with several other Yew Tree members put aside some of our time this weekend to help out as stage hands and crew for the Wakefield Theatre Royal production of Peter Pan, which was adapted and directed by our very own Sarah Osborne…And it was a very enjoyable and lovely experience to have been a part of…
The cast of young actors and dancers all performed so very well, and where all professional indeed…Most of the time, it is usually me that is on stage acting along with fellow Yew Tree’ers, but being backstage shed some important light on how much work goes into staging such a production like Peter Pan…I’ve only done some small backstage work from time to time now and again, but not on such a scale as a professional theatre like that…All of the Theatre Royal crew worked very hard to make the production the best it could have been…And one person who worked just as hard as everyone else was Alice, acting as Stage Manager to the whole production, and she did her job extremely well…As did everyone else that helped out over the last few days…Well done everyone, good job
Chloe's Leavers Blog - finally :)
Please excuse how this was written, I do a very silly drama school course, and I haven’t had to write more than my name in 9 months. I’m sat in my silly dorm bed writing me this on my DSA laptop (a win for the mentally ill girlies), realising how utterly bad my ability to Words has become. Anyway..

I’d spent the last few years, waving off some of my closest friends as they went on to conquer their dreams, in a tearful circle, yet all I have is a fuzzy memory and a video saved in an instagram highlight. I’d sell a kidney to try and bring back that experience, to do my final show unclouded by new medication and intrusive thoughts, but as that isn’t possible, I thought I’d finally write my leavers blog, even if it is a year late. I started Yew Tree in 2017, as a way to explore drama outside of the agonising GCSE setting, and across the years, it became a lifeline for me, providing confidence,
