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

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...

  Hi, it’s Amani.   I joined Yew Tree Youth Theatre when I auditioned for Aladdin the Musical all the way back in 2016. On March 2nd that year, I found out I’d been cast as Wish #4. 6-year-old me probably thought it was going to be yet another one-time show with one of many youth theatres I had briefly attended back then; and yet here I am almost a decade later.   Participating in NT Connections was something I had wanted to do for a long time. Unfortunately I wasn’t old enough at first, and then last year I was unable to participate due to not being available during February half term for rehearsals. However I was extremely excited to audition this year and finally take part in the Connections process.   Auditions were a little different for me, as I wasn’t aware that I was able to partake in Connections this year until the day beforehand and, as such, didn’t have any time to prepare a passage from the script. However instead I filled in for other character’s lines ...
