What a weekend! On the 24th and 25th of May, seventy young performers walked through the doors to audition for our fall spectacular, Oliver! The level of talent was absolutely outstanding, the energy was high, and after two full days of incredible auditions, and another of call-backs, we’re thrilled to announce that the show is now fully cast.

This October, the stage will burst to life with a brilliant mix of newly discovered performers and some familiar faces returning to wow us once again. We can’t wait for you to meet this cast—it’s going to be something really special. Rehearsals begin next weekend, and the excitement is building fast. From heartfelt solos to show-stopping numbers, the journey to opening night starts now—and we’re ready to dive in.

And guess what? If you’re not already part of the show then you’re invited to come lend a hand behind the scenes! Click here to send us a quick message to say you’re up for the adventure—and consider yourself officially part of the YATS family.

Our biggest, showstopping, news is that we’ve just launched our very first crowdfunding campaign! We’re raising money to buy brand-new microphones, so every voice in Oliver! and future shows can be heard loud and clear. To thank you for your support, we’ve got some brilliant rewards lined up: tickets to Oliver!, access to our brand-new VIP area, exclusive YATS tote bags, and discounts on future ticket purchases.

If you love what YATS does, now’s the moment to show your support. Help us raise the volume—and make this our best show yet.

In other news, our wonderful Musical Director Juliana Rambaldi was recently interview in The Connexion, sharing the story of how YATS came to be and how youth musical theater makes a difference. It’s an inspiring read—check it out here.
