About
TakeOver is a week-long theatre festival run by final year performance students at York St John University. The students take over York Theatre Royal and work as producers, production managers, front of house staff and more!
We have something for everyone whether you want to dance the night away or just enjoy a sit down evening. What are you waiting for, get your sparkly shoes on and come join us for a week long party.
