The National Festival of Youth Theatres (NFYT) is the largest gathering of youth theatres in Ireland. The Festival, which will happen from 5th - 8th of July this year, is a unique experience that provides young people with a fantastic opportunity to learn new skills, work with specialist facilitators, and get to know young people from youth theatres across the country.
In 2022, we are delighted to be back to a full live festival at Kilkenny College.
We are delighted to announce the 12 Youth Theatre Ireland affiliated youth theatres that will participate in 4 days of workshops with specialist facilitators and social get-togethers from 4 to 8 July.
In the lead-up to the festival, a Partnership Project for all participating groups ran from April to June. We’re cooking up something very special indeed, so join us in Kilkenny College for a fantastic youth theatre adventure.
The Festival theme for NFYT 2022, as announced by the YTI Youth Board, is ‘Change’.
