What's happening at YTYT

  So, this will be my first and sadly last blog. I’m not the most amazing writer in the world but I shall give it my best shot. Its going to be very strange to not have yewtree to look forward to every week and its honestly been one of the hardest things to let go of. I started sapphire company in the spring of 2016 after my sister had been at gold company for a couple of years. Little 12-year-old dan was very excited but at the same time very nervous to be starting something new that I’d never really tried before. I was completely oblivious to the fact that yewtree would become such a large part of my life. At sapphire company I was a part of a few performance including Hansel and Gretel (yes, the one with the banter birds and yes, I played one of them), neverland and a couple of summer celebration performances. One significant part of my time at sapphire was when people were auditioning to be part of 2017’s connections play ceasefire babies, which i was going to ask to be a part ...

  I honestly don’t know where to start, feels surreal to be writing my leavers blog as I just can’t believe I have to say goodbye although I know it won't be forever. My time at Yew Tree is full with such happy memories, accomplishments and the most amazing group of friends.   I first met Sarah back in 2015 when I auditioned and took part in Peter Pan, a production by ‘West Yorkshire Performers’ which was a whole 5 years ago now and I just remember having such an amazing time working with Sarah and the rest of the team. I enjoyed it that much that a year later in 2016 i auditioned to take part in their next production Aladdin. In that same year I joined West Yorkshire Dance Centre which introduced me more to Yew Tree where I joined Scarlet company and took part in my first ever Christmas show where we performed a physical theatre piece called ‘Red Shoes’. In 2017 I joined Gold company and attended sessions every Friday and this is the point where Sarah got stuck with me. From ...

  I think this is the first leavers blog that Sarah has received where the person writing it doesn’t like acting. But, I’m writing this because I partially feel obligated to. You would too if you made someone deal with your less than enthusiastic personality every week for 4 ish years (maybe more, I can’t remember). I’ve been at Yew Tree for a few years. I haven’t been there for as long as some people but I believe I’ve certainly made an impression as to how annoying I can be. Anyways, down to it. I remember joining yew tree because my sister bullied me into going and then got annoyed at me for going (Lucy protests this statement, however her opinion doesn’t matter here). I did my first Christmas show and was thrown in at the deep end with an exceptionally large part of Captain of the Guard with a magnificent three lines. A very difficult three lines. Trust me. They were almost all over 4 words each. Almost. Much to my dismay, this was not the end of my acting career. As my siste...
