Big MPYT
This is the core youth theatre group; the Tuesday evening workshop that’s been running since 1987.
This is a group for 14-24yr olds, running from 7-9pm during term times. It’s run by our Artistic Director Ralph, Co-ordinator Melody, and a variety of wonderful workshop leaders.
A typical session – outside of production rehearsals – will involve theatre games and exercises, devising challenges; trust & focus games; and other stuff like physical theatre; mask-work; design; puppetry; circus; singing; stage-combat… ooh, we could go on, but you’ll have to come and see for yourself.
You will have a chance to find your voice—learn what you think, who you are, and where you want to belong in the world. It’s a place to ask life’s big questions and figure out the answers together. It’s a place to feel joy, and have fun.
MPYT is safe space to be bold, to take risks, push at the edges and discover new sides of yourself.
MPYT is always led by professional theatre makers. You can find out who will be leading upcoming sessions on our What's On page.

MPYT +
While lots of our members head off to new places and the next stage of their journeys, there are lots who choose to stay in Powys. And what happens then?
We’re making a plan for local young people aged 19-29 and their engagement and connection with theatre and all the amazing opportunities it can offer in building a life.
We will meet on the last Sunday of the month from 3:30-5:30pm to have some fun, play some games, do some impro and maybe read some cracking new plays. You can find out who will be leading upcoming sessions on our What's On page.
This summer, six young people went to Greenman festival and and began dreaming ideas for something to make at the festival next year... As well as other professional development opportunities, emerging leader roles, and production arts. Sounds up your street? Get in touch at hello@mpyt.co.uk
