SYT has a strong track record of bringing dynamic, youth-led storytelling to Soulton—including their memorable 1990s-inspired production of As You Like It (Arden ’94) which was celebrated in the House of Commons.
Under the artistic direction of Lisa Morris, the company continues to challenge conventions and deliver exciting performances for local audiences.
