We brought forth The Baptism play in Holy Trinity in 2023 as part of the Goodramgate festival. It even featured in Great Railway Journeys. Later in 2023 we again produced A Nativity for York in the Spurriergate Centre.
In 2024 we’ve helped three new directors put on A Creation for York, and we’re looking forward to A Nativity for York at Christmas 2024.

We staged our first wagon in 2014 (directed by Simon Tompsett) and have put on wagons again in 2018 and 2022. We also regularly produce A Nativity for York, taking a different approach every time in 2019, 2022 and later in 2024. Finally we have produced other performances in and around York, including a Creation, a Baptism and a Resurrection. See the YMPST Productions page for details including videos of many of the performances.
