TYA
We’ve built up quite the reputation as being one of the biggest supporters of TYA (Theatre for Young Audiences), we reckon it’s just as important a part of the theatre ecosystem as anything else.
So if you’re looking for a show suitable for the younger ones, maybe there’s something here for you.
