Fantastic Easter Drama Workshop!
Drama Easter holiday school that truly stood out for its creativity and engagement. The three day project was packed with outdoor activities, which made the most of the beautiful weather. One of the highlights was the creation of a devised piece entirely themed around Easter, allowing the participants to explore their imaginations and collaborate in a fun, supportive environment.
The performance activity was a unique touch taking place outside and adding a lively element to the experience. It was delightful to see parents getting involved too, as they played various roles around the school yard, enhancing the overall atmosphere of creativity and community. With 23 enthusiastic participants, the energy was infectious, and the positive feedback from everyone involved was a testament to the success of the project.
Additionally, the crown-making workshop incorporated elements of nature, allowing the kids to connect with their surroundings while crafting something beautiful. Overall, this Easter holiday project was a fantastic blend of creativity, outdoor fun, and community spirit, making it a memorable experience for all involved.

Message from the Director
A very Happy New Year to you all and we hope you had a happy, cosy festive season with your loved ones!
We’re now back into our regular weekly sessions with Juniors (School Years 2-5) on a Saturday from 10.30am til Midday, Intermediates (School Years 6-8) are on Tuesdays from 5pm til 6.45pm and Seniors (Year 9 upwards) following them from 7pm to 9pm. We don’t currently have any spaces to offer in the two younger groups but have a waiting list which we frequently update, so if you know of anyone who might be interested in coming along and doing a free taster session they are most welcome to join the list and will be offered a space as soon as possible.
We can offer a couple of places in the Senior group so please get in touch if you know of anybody in Year 9 up to the age of 21 who would like to come along and meet us and do a free taster session.
This term we are doing something completely different with the Senior group, we’re learning lots of new skills with mask theatre. Using Trestle masks we’re going to be experimenting with non-verbal performance or a mixture of non-verbal and narration.
This year’s Murder Mystery (yet to be written and titled) will take place on Saturday 26th July, so watch this space for more details!
Abi and Tazmin will be running a project at half-term (details on the poster) and we’re looking forward to seeing what the group come up with.
Meanwhile do feel free to use the contact details we’ve shared with you to keep in touch.

Our Ethos
“The objects of the Society are to foster and promote the education of young people, in Welsh and in English, in the appreciation and practice of Drama in all its aspects, and to co-operate with Local Authorities, Educational Institutions and Cultural Societies relating to the practice and presentation and study of Drama in order inter alia to promote better knowledge and more widespread interest in the practice of the performing Arts”.
Juniors
Hi, I’m Tazmin Edwards!
My journey with Montgomeryshire Youth Theatre began when I was just 11 years old, and now I have the privilege of leading the Junior Sessions.
Drama has always been a passion of mine; I hold a degree in Drama and Theatre and currently work as a Primary School Teacher. Our Junior Sessions are open to children aged 6 to 10 and take place on Saturdays during term time at Guilsfield Village Hall, from 10:30 am till midday.
Each session is a lively mix of games, improvisation, and rehearsals for upcoming performances, designed to build confidence, creativity, and teamwork.
I find these sessions incredibly rewarding, as they not only nurture a love for drama but also help children grow in confidence, communication, and imagination.
MYT is more than just a drama group—it’s a place where children can make new friends, develop lifelong skills, and experience the magic of performance. I look forward to welcoming new faces and helping young performers shine!
