What does the National Youth Theatre do? The National Youth Theatre organizes lots of exciting events. In 2006, the organization celebrated its 50th birthday. On the 10th of September, 2006, the members of the National Youth Theatre performed a show in Trafalgar Square, London. The show was on the same date as the National Youth Theatre's first play, fifty years before. The show started at midday, with a parade through the city to Trafalgar Square. Then about 1,500 young actors filled the square with lots of colourful and exciting performances. The smaller performances lasted until 8pm and then there was a final, special performance with amazing music and lights. The show was a great success. In 2007, the NYT started a special season called Generation ID Season. The members of the NYT worked on plays, films and even computer programs to show what life is like for young people today. The NYT does not only perform plays in the UK. The organization often travels to major cities in other countries to perform. The NYT has been to New York, Moscow, Paris, Berlin, Madrid and to lots of places in Holland and Norway. In 2008, the National Youth Theatre travelled to China and 25 members of the organization sang the British National Anthem to an audience of 91,000 at the Beijing Olympics. People all around the world watched their performance on television. This was a special performance because London will be the next city to hold the Olympic Games. Members of the NYT also performed Shakespeare's play, The Merchant of Venice, in Beijing.
