Launched in September 2022, our Youth Board is a key part of Strange Town’s organisation.
Made up entirely of Youth Theatre and Young Company members between the ages of 11-25, the Youth Board runs in parallel to our adult board and helps guide the future direction of Strange Town.
The Youth Board elect their own Chair and Secretary (as well as any other roles) and meets three times per year (September, January and April).
Our Youth Board members for 2024/25 are:
Jakub Bednarczyk
Sam Berridge (Secretary)
Kaitlynne Bryce

Izzy Duncan
Esme Hobson
Euan Huth (Chair)
Lottie MacRobert-Ross
