Each year around 6,000 people audition to become members of the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain. Of those applicants only 100 are accepted to the backstage courses offered by NYT, and I am extremely proud and excited to announce that I am one of the lucky few given the amazing opportunity to study Stage Management at the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain.

Theatre has always been my passion, and over the last 12 years I have embraced as many opportunities as possible to keep learning, both onstage and behind the scenes, gaining as many skills and experiences as I can.

This unique opportunity to live and study in London with renowned industry experts in leading venues is the opportunity of a lifetime, but such an exclusive opportunity does of course come with a cost.

The funds raised by this page will help cover my course cost and accommodation fees as well as all the living and travel costs associated with studying in London.

Donations of any size are welcome and I am immensely grateful to anyone who donates, or shares this page - as it would help me achieve this dream and possibly kick-start my career. Being part of NYT doesn’t just stop after this summer course; it opens up the world of live performance to me: access to exclusive nationwide industry opportunities, mentoring, placements and entry level roles.

I am so excited to have been offered this rare chance, and every pound raised will get me a little nearer. Thank you so much, Molly .
