Having worked at the Union and extensively as a child performer, I'm honoured to lend my name to this new youth theatre project. There's nothing greater and more helpful for children than learning and performing together in a group ... it prepares them for social situations as adults and keeps their inquisitive nature alive. If I was 9yrs old again, I'd be there in a shot!

Run by experienced theatre professionals, UYT Intensive is designed to cover all aspects of training and aims to get you into the best place so that you’re ready for that important audition or exam; whether it’s classical acting or choosing a contemporary song, learning how-to pick-up dance routines or what might be asked in an interview, UYT Intensive will cover everything.

The team will be on hand to act as mentors throughout the course. Be it deadline dates, monologue or song choices or if you want information about what different schools offer and what might suit you best, the team at UYT Intensive will be there to support you throughout the process.

Due to the nature of the course, places are limited so make sure you reserve your place early to avoid disappointment.

SUMMER 2023

Rebellion is nigh in Matilda JR., a gleefully witty ode to the the anarchy of childhood and the power of imagination! This story of a girl who dreams of a better life and the children she inspires will have audiences rooting for the “revolting children” who are out to teach the grown-ups a lesson.

Matilda has astonishing wit, intelligence… and special powers! She’s unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey. Matilda’s school life isn’t completely smooth sailing, however – the school’s mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves thinking up new punishments for those who don’t abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be the school pupils’ saving grace!

Packed with high-energy dance numbers and catchy songs, Matilda JR. is a joyous girl power romp. Children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.
