In Memoriam
Honouring Bill Kenwright CBE
The RYTC team was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our friend and patron Bill Kenwright CBE.
Bill was a partner, father, grandfather, great friend and patron. He will be missed by many and this is testament to his giving nature and impact on the theatre and creative arts space.
The RYTC's Artistic Director started her career in Bill Kenwright's work family. Bill told her to go and open her own youth theatre, because being creative is so important for our kids.
"Go and do it — and if it is right, then you can't fail."
Bill embodied the spirit of empowering young people through creative opportunities. Our thoughts are with Bill's family and all those he impacted.
In his memory, please consider supporting creative experiences for children.
