Urban Myth Theatre Company

[7] By 2012, more than 10,000 young people in Adelaide, rural South Australia, and internationally, had been mentored by Urban Myth, through both workshops and stage productions.

Carclew funding paid all transfer costs and signed an additional three-year financial agreement to help Urban Myth get reestablished at its new venue, which seated 212 people.

[11] However, by 2014, the company found itself $70,000 in debt and unable to pay its staff (three full-time, one part-time), and rent for the privately owned Goodwood Institute was $55,000 per year.

[8] Having decided to voluntarily wind up the company at a board meeting on 15 September 2014,[10] former Urban Myth general manager Rebecca Pannell (who had only been appointed in March of that year), along with visual artist and curator Kat Coppock, set up a crowd-funding campaign to support the staging of a play that over 50 young people had been working on for the previous two years, called Warren,[12] written by Sean Riley.

Led by former Urban Myth general manager Bec Pannell, the co-founders included playwright Sean Riley, actor Claire Glenn, dance teacher Nicole Allen, and various guest tutors.

SAYarts offered regular classes, as well as an opportunity for students aged 13–18 to create and present work with a professional playwright in the Adelaide Fringe each year.

Many alumni of Unley Youth Theatre and Urban Myth went on to study theatre-related courses at NIDA, WAAPA, ACArts, and Flinders University.
