Meet the Team

Before moving to the Czech Republic in 2005, Adam honed his theatre skills in London and at the Edinburgh Festival as a member of the National Youth Music Theatre. He then studied Acting and Education at Bretton Hall University in the north of England where he received a BA (hons). For over 25 years Adam has worked extensively in theatre, television, film and as a drama practitioner/educator in New York, Prague and throughout Europe. Adam holds a Post Graduate Certificate of Education and was Head of Drama at the English International School of Prague for 5 years and Head of Drama at Novy PORG for 2 years. As well as being the Artistic Director of PYT, Adam is kept busy with his young daughter and also regularly performs as part of the Cimrman English Theatre company at Zizkovske Divadlo.

After a childhood spent dancing, acting, singing and playing music, Rosie graduated with a BA in Performing Arts and Dance Studies from the University of Winchester (UK) in 2003. She went on to pursue a career in event management, spending five years organising large-scale corporate, fundraising, and faculty events for various British university institutions and co-founding and managing a successful, regular, live music night and PR/artist management solutions company. Since re-locating to Prague in 2008, she has been busy putting her organisational and administrative skills and love of the arts to good use in various roles including the Administrative Director of the Prague Film & Theater Center (2011 - 2016), General Manager of the Prague Fringe Festival, and Operations Manager at the BECOMING (2021 - present). Rosie has been working with PYT since 2015, first as Social Media Manager, and now as the Company Manager and is thrilled to have the privilege of witnessing the creative development of such talented young people.

Kevin has only recently moved to Prague but is excited by the charm and wonder of the city. Previously, he has worked on stages in Texas (Texas Central Theatre) and South Carolina (Rosalind Sallenger Richardson Center for the Arts). After graduating from Wofford College with a BA in Theatre and History, Kevin worked at an Elementary School for two years in Texas, helping teach small groups as well as run the theatre club after-school. With a long history of acting and performing within the US, he has recently moved to the Czech stage and has begun performing around Prague. As a child who grew up loving the community and adventure of live theatre, Kevin is passionate about showing what true magic can happen on stage to others, regardless of background or identity.

After completing her MA in Filmmaking at The London Film School and her BS in Film and Television Production at Ithaca College, Cat has gone on to become an award winning Writer/Director with over 40 awards at film festivals worldwide. She has recently moved back to Prague to continue building her career and passion for film, theatre, dance, musical theatre, and music.
Originally from Washington D.C., Cat has made a name for herself working in every department in every part of the entertainment industry from advertising to music videos to live events to short and feature films.
Cat has taught the arts to children for nearly six years in the United States, United Kingdom, and Czech Republic and has loved every minute of it, her goal is to have all different voices have their chance to shine.

Sadjida was born in Uzbekistan and moved to the Czech Republic when she was eight years old. In 2016, she joined Prague Youth Theatre and discovered a passion for acting. During her time at PYT, she gained excellent public speaking skills, developed her creativity, and was able to connect with a group of people who shared her interests. Sadjida is now starting university and is planning on pursuing Civil Engineering at CVUT. She is confident in her communication and presentation skills because of PYT and is sure that will help her excel in her studies. She has been working with us since 2021 and, alongside assisting with the Juniors and Seniors groups, she also illustrates the team's portraits. Sadjida is excited at the idea of being able to help young people find their identity and confidence through theatre, like she did.

Ema was born in the Czech Republic but moved to the US at a young age. After returning to Prague, she joined PYT in 2016. Not only did she discover a deep love for theatre, but she was able to build her confidence and better her public speaking skills, as well as learn the importance of teamwork. Ema is finishing her final year of high school and after graduating, she plans on studying political science at Charles University. She is thrilled at the opportunity to continue her journey in and around the world of theatre, and the possibility of helping young people find their voices, just like she did.
