The ABTT invite you to come and join them at their Annual General Meeting at the Young Vic on the 7th July from 12pm (midday). We will be celebrating the Association's achievements and of course reflecting on the impact of past events.

ABTT Members with voting rights and any others with non- voting membership are invited to arrive from 12pm with formal business commencing at 12.15pm. This will be followed by some refreshments and social time followed by a guided tour of the theatre.

Young Vic Theatre:

The Young Vic Theatre is a performing arts venue located on The Cut, near the South Bank, in the London Borough of Lambeth.

Frank Dunlop completed creation of the theatre venue in 1970, a breeze-block building constructed out of a former butcher’s shop and an adjacent bomb-site with a red wooden slat auditorium bench seating. The structure was intended to last for five years, but has become permanent.

The auditorium, with a thrust stage, has an approximate capacity of 420, although the configuration and capacity can vary depending on the design of each production.

The Theatre undertook a significant rebuilding and renewal project in the 2000s, designed by architects Haworth Tompkins, boosting its visibility on The Cut. In addition to the Young Vic’s main house, there are now two smaller theatre spaces. The Maria, named after theatre designer Maria Björnson, is the larger of the two with a capacity of 150. The Clare, named after a former artistic director of the Young Vic and Sheffield Crucible, Clare Venables, seats 70. Like the main house, both smaller theatres have flexible seating configurations which can be arranged to suit the production design. In the two smaller auditoria, seating is usually unreserved, with the actors performing in close proximity to the audience.
