Havant Dynamo Youth Theatre

General information

Established in 1981, Dynamo Youth Theatre is one of the oldest youth theatres in the south of England. Members are aged between eleven and eighteen years old. (The senior company Dynasty caters for eighteen to twenty five year olds. ) New members are always welcome – download an application form or phone the Membership Secretary, details here: http://www.dyt.org.uk/contactus.htm
Based in Havant, HDYT attracts members from all over SE Hampshire and West Sussex and regularly performs at venues in Havant and Portsmouth, including the New Theatre Royal, Portsmouth, the Kings Theatre, Southsea, The Spring Arts and Heritage Centre and St Faith’s Hall. In 2007, it staged a critically acclaimed presentation of The Roses of Eyam in St Faith’s Church and graveyard.
Dynamo presents a minimum of three public presentations a year. All company members are expected to perform in every production except the sixth form play, which is a small cast show mainly for departing seniors which represents the culmination of their Dynamo experience. As members get older they are encouraged to take further responsibility in the company, including directing, choreographing and arranging music.
In addition to the public performances, company members regularly take part in workshops, theatre trips and in-house challenges like the annual Liz Goodbody Shield.
Dynamo has rigorously high standards of performance and a proud tradition of tackling challenging work, not usually associated with youth theatre. We also have an impressive record of premiering original plays and musicals, often based on local history.
Havant Dynamo Youth Theatre celebrate their thirtieth anniversary in 2011. For more information, visit the website at www.dyt.org.uk
