We are thrilled to launch Sutton Coldfield Musical Youth Theatre (SCMYT) - a new group set up to help provide opportunities and skills to the creative youth of Sutton Coldfield and surrounding areas.

SCMYT will create opportunities for 11 to 18 year olds to excel in all aspects of musical theatre.

We will support children as they prosper in their chosen field, whether this is performing on stage or getting involved with the production side, such as sound and light technician, backstage crew, props, costumes, make up and hair.

We want our young people to gain real transferable skills that they can use in the future which will help them stand out from the crowd in many walks of life.

The goal is to have youth at the core of this group. We will encourage and empower them to become decision makers. To ‘own’ their chosen role for their duration of time with us.

The adults within the group will as often as possible, manage from a ‘metaphorical’ distance, exhibiting a more guiding, supportive and mentoring stance.

Every individual is as important as the next in our society and we want them to know that! It’s not all about the principals receiving the applause. That applause is for everyone!
We will work as a team both on and off stage.
