Story
Heughligans Supporting Youth Theatre Arts Scotland
Sam Heughan became patron of Youth Theatre Arts Scotland (YTAS) in 2013.
“Youth Theatre is for everyone; it’s about a community, it’s about being supported by your peer group. You learn skills, not just acting but all the other sides needed for working in TV, film and the theatre industry. I’d like to instil the belief that if you join a youth theatre, it’s a gateway to greater career prospects. I know if we get young people involved in the sector, it’s going to pay dividends in the future.”
Located in Edinburgh but working throughout Scotland YTAS helps transform young lives by providing inspiring participatory experiences which encourage personal, social and creative development. Their membership scheme represents over 100 organisations and freelance practitioners who engage around 28,500 young people in youth theatre activity every week.
