Dublin Youth Theatre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dublin Youth Theatre, or DYT, is one of the oldest and largest youth theatres in Ireland and is based in a Georgian house on Upper Gardiner Street in the heart of the city. Prominent past members include Glen Barry (Van Wilder 2: Rise of the Taj), Veronica Coburn (Barabbas), Aoife Moriarty, Kevin Sherwin (Dublin Gospel Choir) and Brona C. Titley (Effigy, Jobless Satisfaction @ Edinburgh Fringe 2005). Dublin Youth Theatre recruits new members annually and stages a range of productions throughout the year.

Notable past productions include Stanley devised by Olyval Voyne (in collaboration with the cast) and Oblivion by Charlie McCarthy.

One of DYT's most polarising productions was Timeb mb, a collaboration with performance art enfants terribles desperate optimists: "disappointingly untheatrical" - The Irish Times
