Kicking Off Soon...
We are pleased to announce a new collaboration with Carers in Bedfordshire & Carers in Luton.
Pitch Poets is a 6-week football-based project designed to bring together young adult carers aged 18–25 from Global Majority communities.
The project combines 5-a-side football sessions with opportunities to talk and share experiences, culminating in a spoken word poetry piece that captures and amplifies the voices and perspectives of Young Adult Carers across Luton and Bedfordshire, raising awareness of their lived experiences within the wider community.
Musical Theatre Summer School is back
Spend a week making something brilliant together at NGYT’s “Make a Musical Week” Summer School for ages 6–16 at the Hat Factory Arts Centre!
Across five fun, creative days, young people will work together to create, rehearse and perform an original musical in a supportive, welcoming environment where every voice matters.
Whether you love performing or just want to try something new, this is a chance to build confidence, make friends, be creative and have loads of fun - no experience needed.
At NGYT, We Care, We Listen, We Create.
Meet Our New Members
We had yet another incredible turnout for auditions in Autumn 2025 for our NGYT Theatre Company & Meraki Dance Company. Meet one of our latest Theatre Company members, David:
“I really love how NGYT made me feel welcomed and appreciated from the second I joined.
It really feels like a safe space where creativity and diversity is celebrated. Being a part of the process of making the show is a great challenge as it puts us in situations where we have to make strong decisions.”
- David
Schools Spotlight
Jason is having fun creating with students at our latest school St Margaret of Scotland Primary at dance and drama club with years 3-6:
"I am introducing and developing skills in drama and dance each week to help the group make a performance of their own creation drawing on the works, ethos and philosophies of NGYT: caring, listening and creating."
Patron News
NGYT Patron & double Olivier award nominee & performer Georgina Onuorah continues to make waves in the West End, returning to Hamilton as Angelica Schuyler at London’s Victoria Palace Theatre on Monday 15th June. Georgina, who began her creative journey in NGYT Theatre Company, has become one of the UK’s most exciting musical theatre performers, starring in productions including The Wizard of Oz, Oklahoma! and Kiss Me, Kate. Her success continues to inspire the next generation of young performers across our community.
“I want to be a voice for people who don't think they can do this… I feel like my whole career is because of people who believed in me... Wednesdays at NGYT were the most exciting part of my week” - Georgina
see you soon
NGYT Family
"My daughter has come on so much in terms of her confidence and anxiety and a massive reason is her attendance with you at NGYT. It’s thanks to your constant encouragement, patience and lovely nature. I always say to my husband that she is going to attend NGYT foreverrrr." - Parent/Carer
"Youth led in the truest sense of the word, literally leading the way and setting the standard for all." - NGYT Alumni
As always, please continue to invite your friends and families to try NGYT for free.
Spread the word about our work across the educational sector.
Tell those working across Luton and the region about our commissionability (is that even a word?)... We love to make performances for community events with social purpose and cultural celebration at the heart.
And don't forget we'd love to share our unique approach with others, supporting the training needs of those looking to develop their approaches to working with young people authentically.
If we haven't met you yet, we can't wait to do so. Reach out! Say Hi!
Remember we are always here if you need us. Take care, stay kind, stay safe and above all things - BE YOU!
David, Laura and The NGYT Team x
