History of the DYT Project
Founded in 1995, the Dover Youth Theatre was conceived as a means of expanding the opportunity for young people to learn
more about drama and dance and related subjects. Dover has had a long tradition of theatre and music and DYT provides
a means of introducing new talent to the arts. Many of the students of DYT have gone to studying drama in higher education
and with professional companies. Many more have participated purely for the enjoyment of the theatre.
We are delighted to have Pauline McLynn as our Patron.

Our Charter
The Constitution of the DYT was amended in 2014 and covers
those matters one would expect to see, who we are, our objectives, who can be a member, meetings and AGM, elections and the
alike. Much of Constitution is published within this website although if anyone would like a copy the please e-mail
the Secretary (see contact us). We are registered with the Charity Commission as a non-profit making charity. Charity No. 1055970. Every
penny is ploughed into the DYT activities, hence our reliance on donations to make possible the performances and workshops.
The performances are open to the general public and the workshops are opened up to anyone willing to audition for selection. We
have tried to reclaim tax using the Gift Aid scheme but HMRC told us (after two years of asking) that we cannot reclaim the
tax!!

Equipment Loans: DYT has a range of equipment that has
been purchased as a result of the generosity of the public and local bodies. This equipment is available for loan
/ hire by other community groups and includes sound system (microphones, mixer deck and speakers), film system (DVD
camera, editing suite) and light units (stands and follow lights). If you need support then please contact the Artistic
Director. |
