BRADFORD YOUTH PLAYERS
BYP Registered Charity Number: 1102702
BYP Inters is open to anyone in school years 7-11 (age 11-16). Members do not need any previous experience of the performing arts, and members are encouraged to to develop their skills and abilities through musical theatre productions. The Inters meet regularly on Tuesday evenings (7.30-9.30pm) between September and July at BYP's base, Little Lane Church Community Hall.
In a typical Inters rehearsal we spend equal amounts of time on drama/improvisation, singing and dance. Rehearsals are structured in a way that levels of interest are kept to a maximum. Members are expected to work hard in all three disciplines but there is emphasis on fun. When preparing for a performance, the three disciplines weave together and members can see that their hard work has paid off! Individual talents are quickly discovered, and encouragement to take part in competitions and external exams is offered.
Members progress from the BYP Juniors into the Inters at the end of the academic year in which they turn 11 (normally coinciding with the move from primary to secondary school). The Inters stage a large-scale production every 18 months, usually in November or May, and have regular fund-raisers and other productions throughout the year. Members progress up to the Seniors at the end of the academic year in which they turn 16 (normally the end of year 11) apart from occasions when the Inters' main show is the following November, when members move to the Seniors after the show, at Christmas time.
The Inters have a Members' Committee which assists in the running of the section, contributing to areas such as funding and publicity, and ensuring that the views and opinions of the members are known, understood and acted upon as appropriate. Elections are held towards the end of each year, usually at the BYP Annual General Meeting (AGM) in July, and members are eligible for re-election to the Committee.
This show was devised by the Inters group.

The show went extremely well and was well received by appreciative audiences. Many congratulations must go to the members who not only starred in, but also helped with the writing and creation of the show.
The Inters held a One-Night-Only Cabaret event on Friday 26 March at BYP, which was seen by an enthusiastic audience. The members took every opporuntity to display their talents and a thoroughly enjoyable night was had by everyone.
