Prague Youth Theatre (PYT) is a new English speaking Youth Theatre in Prague.

The PYT philosophy is designed to give young people the chance to express themselves within a dramatic medium and to develop not only their theatrical skills, but also their sense of teamwork, confidence and commitment.

PYT offers young people aged between 8 – 17 years old the opportunity -

•              To express themselves through a dramatic medium
•              To work with professional actors, directors and technicians *
•              To take responsibility for themselves as individuals and as members of a team
•              To gain experience in areas other than that provided through education

*Ben Bradshaw from BBC TV’s ‘The Office’ will be running a two hour improvisation workshop on Saturday 15th October for PYT Seniors.

During the PYT Season from September 2011 – July 2012, company members will perform at least two major performances and will cover a wide range of theatrical skills. These may include:

•              Stage Fighting
•              Acting for TV and Film
•              Sound Design and Recording
•              Clowning and Physical Comedy
•              Improvisation
•              The Art of Devising
•              And many, many more…!
