CYTO SESSIONS
All CYTO sessions are run by trained theatre professionals and volunteers who are passionate about young people, theatre and fun! Sessions are planned and adapted around the needs of our young people, who have a huge part to play in selecting themes, scripts and styles of theatre that they wish to learn and perform. Productions and sharings are performed in our theatre space to offer a taste of a professional theatre experience. We are a creative space dedicated to young people that is fun, affordable and inclusive.
