Arthur Boswell Award
YPT believes that it is important to recognise young people who make an outstanding contribution to the organisation through their positive participation in classes, in productions, in assisting backstage as crew and in the directing teams. In recognition of such commitment, students in their post school years may be nominated for the Arthur Boswell Award.
The award is named in honour of Arthur Boswell who was a devoted YPT volunteer from 1962 till his death in 1995 – including holding the position of president for 28 years. Arthur’s commitment to YPT is one of the reasons that the organisation is built on solid foundations.
YPT Remembers Reuben Scholarship
Reuben Sutherland was a much loved member of the YPT community. He was tragically killed on 30 March 2015 as he crossed the road after getting off the school bus. He was 12 years old. As the YPT community is committed to remembering this enthusiastic and generous hearted young man, with the agreement of his family, the YPT Remembers Reuben Scholarship was established.
Donations to the YPT Remembers Reuben Scholarship can also be made through GiveNow. Donations will raise much needed funds so YPT can continue to provide theatrical opportunities to young people.
