An overview of the week from Mel Well, this week for black company has been a triumphant one you could say, with the Ossett, Walton and Jubilee festivals all happening. All of which we've had brilliant feedback (even though for certain people it was a little harder, having to learn lines and new movements just a mere 5 minutes before the performance was supposed to start). However, Thursday night was such a treat trying to help devise scenes for Robin Hood, we just couldn't help ourselves but be a little self indulged. For gold we've got further in our rehearsals for sleeping beauty with people already off script and raring to go. I'm sure that as soon as we have a full cast we'll fly through the script and be able to focus more as a group. Xx

Connections 2025 marked a turning point for me—it made me realise that Yew Tree Youth Theatre is exactly what I’ve been missing my whole life.  I only joined a year ago, and this was both my first and last time taking part in Connections. I wish I had more time to perform with these people, because I’ve never met a cast so full of love, kindness, and  talent. They’re not just brilliant performers—they’re friends I know will stay with me for a long time.   In this past year, I’ve grown in confidence, developed my skills as an actor, and found a group where I truly belong.  Mia and the Fish , despite its challenges, made me appreciate the small moments in life and reminded me to cherish every part of this journey. At first, being one of the oldest and not knowing many people was daunting. But after just a few rehearsals, I settled in, and that’s when we really began to bond—not just as a cast on stage, but as friends off it too. I loved diving into new and unfamiliar s...

Yew Tree Youth Theatre. 2024 - Fred

What a year (That's a good thing, by the way). My favourite shows, my favourite rehearsals, my favourite year; so you can hopefully gather that I've enjoyed it all.  But in all reality, my blog should start in 2023, as National Theatre Connections began then.  I had been cast, along with Izzy, in the role of Noush, which quickly I became attached to. As the rehearsal process continued into the year of 2024, I only grew to like the role even more. Kiss/Marry/PushOffCliff - as the play was called - soon shaped up to be a fantastic show. The year before (I know, this is meant to be 2024, but everything, after all, is interconnected) I'd shown interest in NT Connections but had shied away, thinking I was not capable enough for such a task. This time, however, I was prepared - or brave, or optimistic, or however you could describe it - and chose to take part. It was indeed the right decision. Never before from a show had I received such enjoyment, even from rehearsals. Every tim...

2024 - A year for Robin

-
  2024. A year, for me, represented by change and new beginnings. A year that I used to think i’d never even live to see but now i’m here on the lead up to Christmas and I couldn’t be happier about the future. Although 2024 was plagued with change and uncertainty, YTYT has been the consistent rock throughout that I could always rely on. It was there at my lowest of lows and still there at my highest of highs. This year especially, this source of stability has been unimaginably helpful both in helping me recover, rebuilding my confidence and maintaining friendships in an otherwise rocky and unstable environment.   The Chaos Arc (Literally) : The start of my 2024 year in Yew Tree was defined by the ending of connections (which I won’t go into detail on as i’ve written a whole other blog about that experience) and Gold company’s version of Chaos. This was a connections play Sarah had previously done and I was overjoyed to be given the opportunity to revive it. On the first read t...
