People Youth Theatre
Each year the youth theatre will rehearse and perform a full scale musical. The latter part of the year will involve devising and rehearsing a theatre piece to be performed at the annual Tacchi-Morris Summer Community Show.
This a chance to discover and enjoy the magic of theatre. If you want to explore your creativity, make friends, and build confidence, this is for you.
Led by the incredibly passionate and experienced Youth Theatre Director David Duthie, and in partnership with the fantastic folk at People&co, this is the beginning of something special.
Open to ages 13-17yrs
Sister Act JR. (last year’s production)
PYT’s first production was in March 2026 and proved a huge success.
Filled with powerful gospel music, outrageous dancing, and a truly moving story, Sister Act JR.will leave audiences breathless. A sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship, Sister Act JR. is a reason to REJOICE!
When disco diva, Deloris Van Cartier, witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place the cops are sure she won’t be a found: a convent!
Based on the hit 1992 film and Tony-nominated Broadway musical, Sister Act JR. is the feel-good musical comedy that will have audiences jumping to their feet!
Work on the next show will begin in September.
