Starting a new thread as we filled up the old one!

DC 17 is in 6th season with NYMT. Also former BYMTer.

These annual threads have been a source of advice, emotional support and camaraderie for those of us with young performers enjoying everything that these awesome organisations bring.

No, ds did two NYMT shows one year (unplanned as a musician dropped out) and it was a lot in terms of time. It meant we didn't get a family holiday that year.

Has anyone's DC done both NYMT and BYMT in the same year? DD has been offered the opportunity. It IS a lot of money, which we could potentially find ......

I just wonder if she will get the same opportunity next year ....

@MxPickles I know! Considering temporarily outing myself so you can find me on facebook!

ooof! I feel special! I actually considered the same but I dont know how to delete posts on MN. In fact, I have no idea how to drive it at all ( I only come here for this thread😂)

TBF I feel that I likely know many of the parents or DC on here. Its a bit like the Masked Singer - Theatre Parent Edition!

If you know operasingerkath she knows my true identity!

(Alternatively tag me in a post with your FB name then delete it quickly. I wont tell. promise)

Oooh we want to come watch that one @TheOliveSwan ! Written by the wonderful Jordan Li Smith 😍

Also to add. I really wish that DM's were open right now x

MxPickles · 04/03/2025 16:21

Sad times - no second stage for us with BYMT despite having a show (and even a solo) last year. Just goes to show you never know what is around the corner!

So this year it looks like a NYMT year for us instead of BYMT which I didn't think I would ever be saying.

Well done @TheOliveSwan and others with good news today x

Lovely email from BYMT this afternoon offering DD a place in Theo in Between (second stage casting). Absolutely thrilled for her. Quite nervous for my bank account 😬

Advent0range · 04/03/2025 15:31

Yes me too

yodaforpresident · 04/03/2025 15:15

@doesanybodyhaveamap we received the same email, so hopefully by tomorrow then.

Anyone got anything? A friend of mine has just messaged to say she's had an email saying if you haven't had an offer yet, you will tomorrow. Which suggests some people have??

Can I ask did your second stage offer come out on the 13th of Feb? Keeping everything crossed for ya x

Show quote history

No, we got it today as they’d sent it previously, no idea when!! We checked our junk mail and as I’d seen everyone had heard on here I asked them to resend whatever they’d sent.

MxPickles · 03/03/2025 21:04

soolin · 03/03/2025 20:01

As it’s a second stage offer she may not get offered a show I think, but this is our first time (so we’re a bit clueless) and the email says they’ll be in touch if she’s successful by mid March.

Well done to your DD @soolin - which show is she in?
