Steps Drama Learning Development Competitors

National Youth Theatre was established in 1956 as the first youth theatre in the world. Over the past 60 years it has nurtured the talent of hundreds of thousands of young people and continues to be recognised as a world-leading youth arts organisation. Today the National Youth Theatre discovers, develops and platforms exceptional performers and theatre technicians aged 14-25 from Great Britain and Northern Ireland and prides itself on always being as ambitious as the young people it serves. Each year it reaches out locally and nationally, breaking down social barriers, to audition and interview over 6000 across Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The inclusive ethos of the NYT illuminates this raw talent in young people from diverse backgrounds and through the discipline of performing arts, encourages their personal and social development giving them the confidence to reach their potential.

The Birmingham Repertory Theatre – affectionately known as “The Rep” – is one of the most influential companies in the history of the English stage and remains at the forefront of theatre in the UK. Many of our productions go on tour, championing Birmingham and positively contributing to its national and international reputation. In this way, we have developed strong links with cities and cultural partners across the UK, Europe and the world. Our community outreach programme is one of the largest and most diverse in the Country. The Rep is one of Birmingham's most unique and versatile venues for conferencing and events, winning 'Venue Of The Year 2016'. We are centrally located in the heart of the city and boast state of the art facilities. As well as our three main auditoria, we have a range of other spaces including banqueting suites and exhibition areas. Our dedicated events team are passionate about creating personal, professional and memorable events. The Rep is the perfect place to entertain clients. Options include being treated to VIP hospitality in the theatre's private member's bar, enjoying a pre-theatre meal in a private dining room or having drinks with the cast on the theatre's famous stage. As a charity The Rep relies on the generosity of donors, funders and sponsors to continue our work both on stage and in the community. We are excited to announce that we are embarking on an ambitious fundraising campaign called Rep First which aims to raise £1 million over the next three years. Rep First will support three core areas of our work; nurturing young performers and theatre makers, creating new works and reaching out to new audiences and communities. We have always been pioneers and regularly provide our audiences with their first-ever experience of theatre and offer the next generation of theatre makers a first step in their careers. All funds raised over the next three years will contribute towards our £1 million target.
