Sapphire this week being represented by Holly and Laura So on Monday, we did a nice bit of Jack and the Beanstalk devising, which is going brilliaaant And to make it even better, we had Sarah and Danny for half the session and Gemma for the next half - best of both worlds innit ninja warrior is my new fave game, cowboys and indians is still my favefave though, and it was a treat for me to do Gemma's job for a bit and run ninja warrior. Right, I was well nervous at the start but when I settled into it - loved it also, I'm loving my part in Jack and the Beanstalk, I get to be bossy, which is what I do best tehe, sorry this is really disjointed, and short, and late... I'm sure Laura's bit will be MUCH better so read that bit before this, and if you've read this, I promise my next one will be better, ily yew tree. Freeman xx This week we had the pleasure of seeing Gemma for half the session and letting her see how far we have got with Jack and the Beanstalk which is really great as we got her input on it all on how to improve or tweak anything slightly, it was really nice to have Gemma and we got to play her version of Ninja Warrior and then Holly took over to teach Gemma how to play our version which was really funny as Holly takes charge really well especially over Daly it was a shame that we didn’t get Danny and Sarah all lesson as they were dearly missed but it was great having Gemma and for half an hour having one of our old members Jake which was a really nice surprise for us all Staggs xx

This weeks guest blogger is Aaron 17+, Saturday Morning Thornes and Heights cast member... So I thought it would be interesting to have a 'Yew-Tree Quiz'. I honestly can't remember why I thought this would be good but I thought it would be a laugh. So anyway, these questions are more or less based on how Yew Tree influences you in ways of creativity, imagination and speech I suppose too. It could also just show how long you've been at yew-tree. 1) Are you over come with glee when you hear you have a tick next to your name? 2) Do you feel more confident than you did before you started YTYT? 3) When watching a performance are you mentally checking the good and bad points of it? 4) Have you taken a risk (performance wise)? 5) Have you used the word brilliant in a both positive and negative manner? 6) Have you ever seen Sam behind the wheel of a green Mini? 7) Have you ever been to Nostell Priory? 8) Do you own any Yew Tree merchandise? 9) Have you auditioned for Connection...

Fred's 2025 in Review Blog

-
Last Christmas, I wrote a YewTree blog to recap 2024. I don't remember much about it, but what I do know is that it was quite extensive, and probably full of a lot of waffle. Here I am, on the 24th December 2025 (the date on which I am finishing the blog), writing another one. Hopefully this time it won't be as long, but knowing me i doubt I'll manage that. Trying to think back to the start of the year is like trying to remember your lines after briefly reading a script one time. The image of it you have in your head is definitely not what was written. Everything is completely different, especially me. I genuinely believe I am a different person now. And, since trying to remember that far back is difficult, I think I'll start closer to the end. In one recent Connections rehearsal, we explored a physical theatre exercise, and I made a comment that went something along the lines of "If I forget that I'm Fred in a room with other people that might be watching me, ...

Jacob and Tristan's YTYT 2025 blogs

Jacobe Sakels tells us of his YTYT year: What a brilliant year of yew tree! I want to start this by saying how delighted I am to spend yet another year of my life doing what I enjoy most, and 2025 has certainly made me fall even deeper in love with acting (which I never thought was possible!)   At the start of this year, I was buzzing after Hansel and Gretel and was ready for a new thing to keep me entertained! Luckily, I didn't have to wait, as we started work on a new play: In The Hands of The God's (Greek mythology), where I was Daedalus in the story of Icarus. I enjoyed this, and with many new people that had joined at the beginning of the year, it was a wonderful opportunity to get to know my new friends.  Alongside this play, I was also focused on my Grade 2 LAMDA devising. And after months and months of hard work, it all paid off with a wonderful distinction! Not only do I enjoy LAMDA, it's been proven to expand my skills and I wouldn't have become half the actor...
