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

Celebrating the past in the present...

  Next year Yew Tree Youth Theatre will be 30 years old.   We haven’t quite decided how we will celebrate - any suggestions would be gratefully received. No doubt there will be some nostalgic perambulating down memory lane and some haphazard but joyous celebrating of three decades of creativity we have shared.   Some variation of those two themes would feel fitting. This blog however is something different. This blog is a celebration of the present of those who attended YTYT in the past. Alumni, graduates, previous members – I can never seem to find the right term – but whatever word is chosen I know for sure they are part of the fabric of the youth theatre and I’m grateful to have known all of them, mainly because I have learnt so much from them.   I also can’t put a number on how many people have spent significant time with YTYT over the last 29 years.   I know we started with a group of 8 and now have about 80 members, I know at our peak just before COVID w...

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...
