What's happening at the Pump House CYT
Chicago Teen Edition
Fri 24th to Sat 25th Jan and Wed 29th Jan to Sat 1 Feb
Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, CHICAGO is the story of night club singer Velma Kelly and Roxie Hart, a housewife who murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma, by hiring Chicago’s slickest criminal lawyer, Billy Flynn, to transform her deed into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today’s tabloids…
Dragons
A new musical
Thu 20 Mar 2025 – Sat 22 Mar 2025
Aiden was your typical young person attending an average school in an average town. When dragons started to appear everywhere, it was average no longer.
This brand new musical set to an existing song cycle by Nick Toczek and Malcolm Singer will feature live dragons along with an engadging story that shows there is a little bit of dragon in all of us.
Rainforest WAKEUP
The Pump House Youth Theatre has created a new series of 10 minute documentaries to raise awareness why rainforest protection is paramount for, not just those communities living and looking after the rainforests, but for us all.
About
Pump House CYT is a volunteer run, open access Youth drama group that has been going for nearly 50 years. Our aim is to provide young people of all backgrounds the opportunity to perform on stage. We strive to achieve the highest standards possible while keeping an enjoyable, learning environment.
We do several productions a year including everything from mimes & improvisation through to large scale musicals. We have three sections – Children (8-12 years), Youth section (12-15 years) and Young Adult section (15-25 years) that each meet once week (and more often for some production rehearsals). We regularly take part in local drama festivals, the National Theatre Connection festival and occasional we take productions to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
We do not offer any exams or formal training but our members gain confidence and presentation skills that they take onto their future lives. However some of our past members have gone on to professional careers in acting, music and other media.
For more information or to put your child on our waiting list please contact us.
