Musicians, Actors & Backstage Crew

RUMPELSTILTSKIN: Call-out!

We need YOU for our Autumn Show.

If you're age 14-24 and love playing a musical instrument, singing, acting, or all three - we want you to get involved in our show at the Wyeside. We're specifically looking for talented or enthusiastic young musicians to form part of a little wandering band onstage.

Remember, we also love people who want to get involved backstage - from costume to lighting, sound, design, set building, stage management. If you want to have a go - we have a role for you, and professionals to mentor you through it.

If you haven't done a MPYT show before, it's like nothing you've known! Hard work for sure - you'll be very busy! But something you'll talk about for a long time (ie: the rest of your lives); a ridiculous amount of fun, skills-learning (without even knowing it), new friendships and hard-won pride.

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.

Little MPYT

This group is aimed at a children and younger teenagers age 9-13 years but is driven by the same values and ethos as big MPYT.  

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.

You will play games and learn some basic theatre skills.

MPYT is safe space to be bold, to take risks, push at the edges and discover new sides of yourself.

Little MPYT is currently FULL! If you want to join the waiting list, get in touch on hello@mpyt.co.uk or contact Ralph on 07810 350 994.

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?  

This group is for local young people aged 19-29 to develop 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.

We've been taking walkabouts to Green Man Festival for 2 years now, and plan to continue doing so! 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
