Youth Music Theatre UK (YMT), the country's leading youth arts organisation for musical theatre are looking for 250 talented young performers, musicians and stage managers from around the country to join our national company!

If you’re looking for a unique way to spend your summer, come along to one of our auditions. You could get the chance to work with professional directors, choreographers and composers from all over the world to stage impressive shows at some of the country’s most respected theatres and arts festivals. You’ll be staying in residential accommodation, learning new skills and making some amazing new friends.

Our auditions team will be visiting a city near you in January or February. So, whether you’ve been performing for years or have never set foot on stage, YMT could be the experience you’ve been waiting for. Be a part of it!

The auditionees will take part in an exciting two-hour workshop with professional directors, choreographers and music directors to compete for the opportunity to join YMT's company. Successful auditionees will be cast in one of seven new musicals, to be performed across the country next summer.

There are a limited number of places at the auditions, so young people are encouraged to reserve their place early by visiting the Youth Music Theatre UK (YMT) website at www.youthmusictheatreuk.org
