Stardust: Etched in the Celestial Sky
NGYT Theatre Company
"We, you, me, us…"
Playing at life, in search of the perfect self, swerving and switching in order to survive.
This autobiographical, theatrical gameshow delves deep into the lived experiences of our young company as they reveal their symptoms and unearth the flaws and cures we often fear to face. Stand side by side in this poetic, ensemble led, highly physical creation where tomorrow belongs to us all.

“Never. Never. NEVER have I been so thought provoked and been so greatly invested in this amazing and touching subject matter... It has put every other professional piece of theatre to shame. And LUTON did this. "
"I was absolutely blown away by the talent, passion and care... It kinda left me speechless, In fact I cried after the show, I was so touched"
"It was EPIC! You are incredible at what you do for young people in Luton"

somewhere in-between
Meraki Dance Company
A group of lost souls go in search of hope, twinkling bright in shadowy lands, glimmering through cracks.
Moving as one, growing in strength and courage as they rediscover the very things we all need to feel alive.

“Exquisite”
"Beautiful storytelling through dance"
"Exceptional choreography"
"They moved like water. I couldn’t take my eyes off of them. It’s the best dance show I’ve ever seen."
"If decision makers want to know what young people in Luton feel, they need to come and see an NGYT show. You get to see what matters to young people."
"Powerful, moving, incredible"

NGYT is now a Charity! Our Michael Hobson Scholarship Fund provides free places for young people to access creative arts opportunities at NGYT.
Without your support many young people at NGYT would not be able to access these opportunities. Scholarships are funded by donations from Parents/Carers and the Community.
