About Us
Our aim is to provide young people who are currently in secondary education with opportunities to develop their performance skills through a variety of communication methods. Through working in all areas of stage craft – including the support of performances through stage-management, technical support, marketing, costumes and make-up – young people are encouraged to develop the self-confidence and personal qualities that will sustain them through life. Team-working, self-respect and respect for others are key to our ethos. As well as developing performance skills and rehearsing, we organise trips to amateur and professional productions as well as educational visits to encourage understanding of the issues behind the pieces performed.
Can I Join?
Membership is open to anyone in secondary education in Huntingdonshire and is achieved through Audition. Our next full auditions will be in the autumn – entrance is at the discretion of the adjudicating panel. If you are interested in joining SIYT, if you want to take part, download an application form from our website with a recent photograph. And we’ll be in touch!
Social networks for St Ives Youth Theatre ( SIYT )
Facebook updates from St Ives Youth Theatre, SIYT
As you will all know by now, Government advice has been to close Pubs, Clubs, Cinemas, Theatres and all places of social gathering. We here at SIYT had been paying clost attention to advice given to schools. As a result of the advice given last Thursday, we have temporarily closed our doors until we have been given the green light to re-start. We do not know how this will impact upon our schedule and our summer show. As soon as we know, we will post about it here. It is a horrible thing to do,as we love doing what we do. But we are in no doubt that SIYT will be back, just as spectacular as we have always been.
It will be equally upsetting for those that recently had auditions to join us. If you attended an audition, but haven't yet had an email from us, PLEASE get in touch. You can message us on here or email us at: [email protected] I have sent emails, but I haven't had responses from all yet, so I don't know if I have the correct details. Many thanks. SIYT
We have had a fantastic review of our Spring shows, written by NODA the National Operatic and Dramatic Association. They are the national body that represents amateur theatre no less!
