MPYT is a theatre company for the young people of Powys. Living in an isolated, rural place can be hard. Let’s face it, there isn’t a whole lot of stuff going on much of the time - especially for young people interested in exploring the world and where you might fit in it or go next. MPYT is a safe, fun and welcoming place to experiment and try some new things out. It’s a way of exploring creativity, performance and ideas and people.
We introduce our young members to professional artists and creatives and all the amazing skills that theatre has to offer, through weekly and termly workshops and projects. We produce live community productions, run specific groups and projects for specific needs and ages and are constantly looking for new ways to offer our young people new opportunities and ways of getting involved.
“Without MYPT, I wouldn’t be where I am today. It opened up my eyes to a world of possibilities that I hadn’t yet experienced in Mid-Wales. It taught me not only early lessons in acting and the arts but it also gave me confidence to believe in myself. MYPT is a refuge; a safe place to express, learn, be surrounded by like minded people and to give joy and hope in an area so often deprived.
