About PYT
The Palace Theatre Trust is firmly committed to strengthening access to theatre for youth in the Manchester area and beyond.
Palace Youth Theatre (PYT) provides an avenue for young children and young adults to learn, perform, and grow as individuals within the Palace Theatre community. With access to state-of-the-art performance and rehearsal space, exposure and connection to industry professionals, and a full roster of experienced theatre personnel on staff, it is no wonder PYT is the largest and fastest-growing youth theatre program in the state.
PYT delivers comprehensive and professional training through the educational initiatives described below.
