Scottish Youth Theatre
Scottish Youth Theatre is a national young artists' development organisation. It designs projects that offer artistic development opportunities for aspiring and early career artists, age 14 to 25. The company was established in 1976 and has a free-to-participate National Artistic Programme for young people who are based in Scotland and interested in creating theatre. It strives to broaden young people's artistic experiences, introducing them to a range of art forms and creatives in the industry. The programme is crafted around young people's needs, adopting a variety of physical and digital platforms to produce small-scale engagement projects, festivals, full-scale productions and national tours.
Scottish Youth Theatre is a remote-working organisation, delivering in-person projects throughout Scotland.
