The Young People's Musical Theatre scheme awarded more than £190,000 to a
total of 52 not for profit youth theatre groups across the UK.
Groups
were awarded a grant to help them realise more ambitious projects or to
produce a musical theatre show for the very first time, and to increase
their profile by attracting new members and audiences. In order to
achieve these goals, the funding was used to provide training and
development opportunities for members, to run workshops, or to hire a
professional director or choreographer, for example.
From a
production of West Side Story in Ely cathedral to a new beatbox musical
in Battersea, grants were awarded to a diverse range of projects. We'll
be tracking their progress through the blog so keep an eye out for
updates.
This grant is now closed.
