Huntingdon Youth Theatre (HYT) was formed by Dominic Whitehead (the current Chairman) and Beryl-Anne Whitehead in 1997 with an original 80 youngsters enrolling on the first night and it has carried on continuously ever since.

HYT is a local Drama group formed 25 years ago to provide opportunities for young people to break into the world of Drama & Performance. Whether it's in acting, staging, costume, improvisation, scriptwriting, production tech etc, HYT has opportunities for so much in the industry. With more that 120 shows and performances under our belt, HYT has a strong record of fantastic drama, hilarious comedy, and a determined dedication to the arts.

If there is a play to be performed, the leader(s) acting as director for that play will take the students through the rehearsal.  If there is no play being rehearsed, then the students will be taken through a workshop to improve their skills.  The workshops vary from voice projection, to make-up, to improvisation.  Often these plays will be comprised of one or two acts, and will be performed for friends and family members on one or more nights.  Recently some of the members have written and directed their own plays, which have had public performances.
