Please note: Due to weather considerations, the venue for this event has changed from Meriton Festival Village to ATYP Studio 1, Pier 4/5 The Wharf, Hickson Rd, Walsh Bay.

Australian Theatre for Young People (ATYP) brings you the Festival's freshest new work performed at Meriton Festival Village.

Keep your eyes peeled during Sydney Festival for a group of very special young people. For the first time ATYP and Sydney Festival have joined forces to bring together 40 young performers from across NSW for a week like no other. This talented young crew will be dropping in on Festival events, seeing a heap of shows and participating in masterclasses run by industry leaders in a special ATYP workshop program. They’ll also create a brand new show which will be performed in Meriton Festival Village - all in one action-packed week!

So if you spot them in the crowd as you move around the Festival be sure to remember their faces because in a few years you might just be seeing them on a main stage!

Note: Meriton Festival Village is a licensed venue. Under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
