    Historique

    The York Musical Theatre Company is York's longest established amateur theatre company. It was founded in 1902. It was originally called the York Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society. It was renamed the York Musical Theatre Company in 2002.

    The group gave its first performance in April 1903

    The Society's meetings and performances were suspended during World War I 1914 - 1919, and reconvened in 1920. During World War II 1939-1945, performances were again suspended, but started up again from 1946. During the April 1942 air raid on York, many of the early records of the society (1902 - 1939) were destroyed.

    The group gained charitable status in 1978.
