Riverside Youth Theatre (RYT) was started in 1982 to provide opportunities for young people aged between 12 and 18 who have an interest in drama.

Members can join the acting team or the technical, and many members choose to experience both.

Productions range from period costume drama to musicals and are always demanding.We aim to encourage an interest and develop skills and experience in all aspects of theatre. Actors experience auditions, rehearsals and the staging of real productions which are presented to live audiences. The technical team learn about lighting, sound and set building, and are involved in the rehearsals and live performances.
