Drawing an audience from as far a field as Kent and West Wales, SIYT have set a high standard from their hometown run of Vision. Press Reviews of the show said "Everything about Vision was high quality". Vision writer Jonathan Smith told the audience, "St Ives as a community must be so proud of these young people, to produce performances that rival those of some professional companies." Composer Dom Hartley added "Obviously we've seen the show many times but this is the first time we've been able to lose ourselves in the musical itself. It was magical" |

| Funding Myth - We still need your donations and support Contrary to popular belief, SIYT receives no regular funding from local councils, schools or any external source. We don't pay salaries to anyone involved with SIYT, they are all volunteers. To survive, we rely on donations, ticket and programme sales from our two productions each year. Just by buying a ticket or a programme, you help us survive. Want to do more ? If you're interested in becoming a sponsor, advertising in our programme or becoming a volunteer, please email us. | ||
