Too many happy memories leading the marketing and comms for this project over two years. It has enabled me to do so much from launching a podcast to securing a grad job. Cannot thank those at @YorkTheatre @EngagementYTR enough. Looking forward to seeing how the festival evolves

[Becca @beccamcgreevy]

Three TakeOver years in a row! And all the best memories are with creative, hard working, young people in a fantastic week at a wonderful theatre! ⭐️ Thanks @YorkTheatre

[Ellie Rudge @el_rudge]

My favourite part of #Takeover2018 - opening our interactive instillation #ProjectHome with @Katiemanocklike 👯‍♀️🏠

[Rachel @FlannaganRachel]

Thank you @YorkTheatre @EngagementYTR! I am and always will be very grateful for my takeover experience

[Creative Engagement @ York Theatre Royal @EngagementYTR]

There will be no @TakeOverYork @YorkTheatre this year so instead lets celebrate 10 years of incredible young people who have directed, produced, programmed, marketed, managed, educated, engaged, shared and inspired us since 2009. Say hello or send us your pics and memories

[TakeOver Festival @TakeOverYork]

We had the hilarious @britneycomedy at TakeOver 2018. Have a listen to hear more about their story and the exciting things ahead for them ...📺

[York Theatre Royal @YorkTheatre]

On the latest episode of Adlib, the team talk to the wonderful @CharlyClive of @britneycomedy! Hear the story of how two friends and a brain tumour broke into the performance world and launched exciting careers! Search Adlib wherever you get your podcasts.

Definitely recommend this fantastic photographer who took stunning photos of our show at TakeOver!

[TakeOver Festival @TakeOverYork]

For TakeOver 2019 we had @C_J_Kirkpatrick as our resident photographer. We cannot recommend his photography skills enough, not only because of their high quality (LOOK AT HOW GOOD THEY ARE) but also because of the rapid turnaround. https://t.co/6yEkWiHs24

[York Theatre Royal @YorkTheatre]

Out today is a special live episode of our podcast Adlib! Recorded live at @TakeOverYork, the panel, including members of @SilentUproarPro, discuss the role of theatre in the climate emergency. Search Adlib wherever you get your podcasts! #takeover19

[Rachel @FlannaganRachel]

Was suuuch a pleasure having and seeing @jessicafostekew’s Hench at @TakeOverYork. Laughed so much I spilt my pint all over myself in the front row. Also saying ‘thank you for my compliment’ has become part of my everyday language. Has to be done in that voice though.

[TakeOver Festival @TakeOverYork]

@jessicafostekew is coming back to York next year with her show Hench to @TheBasementYork so if you missed out you have a second chance to see this hilarious performance! https://t.co/MM2IaLYz83

[TakeOver Festival @TakeOverYork]

We were lucky enough to have not one, not two but three hilarious comedians at this year's festival. @NjambiMcgrath, @JenBrister and @jessicafostekew thank you all giving us a much needed laugh and helping bring new audiences into @YorkTheatre!

[teastain theatre @TeastainTheatre]

Fantastic day performing at @TakeOverYork with Wild Thyme (and Heather) we LOVED our amazing audience and can’t WAIT to get working on even more projects now!! But first... we’re off to sleep for a week...

Should Theatre play a role in the climate emergency? That was the topic of our panel on Thursday. Thank you to @SilentUproarPro for joining us in this fascinating discussion. The podcast version of the interview will be online soon.
