The National Youth Theatre Formerly known as the National Youth Theatre Company is a not-for-profit organisation that runs musical theatre training workshops and musical productions in New Zealand.[1] It was established in 2005, with the aim of providing opportunities for young people to participate in performing arts training.[2] The company provides training strictly to New Zealand youth, between ages 7 and 21, and each show has multiple casts, enabling more young people to perform on stage.[2][3]
