International Youth Arts Festival, London 2010
sponsored by Ulster Garden Villages, Deloitte and Brewin Dolphin.
Following the sell-out performance of Godspell in the Grand Opera House (August 2009), MT4Uth have been invited to perform and represent Ireland and excellence at the 2010 International Youth Arts Festival in Kingston, London. The festival showcases the highest quality youth arts from around the world enabling MT4Uth to display the talent that exists in Ireland on an international stage. It is a very exciting opportunity for MT4Uth and our 32 young people involved.
“Having watched MT4Uth from its start and seen it develop and grow into a major player in the field of Youth Music Theatre, most notably with its fabulous production of ‘Godspell’, I am thrilled that, as a Trustee of the International Youth Arts Festival, the company’s work can be seen further a field. Equally, I am confident that the standard of work on show from MT4Uth will be an eye-opener for the Festival audiences – so everyone will be onto a winner!” Jeremy James Taylor OBE, Founder of The National Youth Music Theatre
The production is led by an international artistic team comprised of Vernon Mound (Head of Musical Theatre, Gothenberg University), Anthoula Papadakis (World Renowned Choreographer), Ryan Jenkins (West End Choreographer), Henry Gilbert (Guildford School of Music & Drama), Gareth Ellis (Musical Director Wicked) and Shane McVicker (Assistant Musical Director, MT4Uth).
Performances are scheduled for Thursday 8th July (12pm) and Friday 9th July (8pm) - it is guaranteed to be a fantastic show! For more information or to purchase tickets please go to
