Cast: Urban Myth Theatre of Youth ensembles

Now in its fifth season, Out Of The Boot is an annual production by the Urban Myth Theatre of Youth for the Holden Street Theatres stage. The production is designed to encourage, support and nourish young artists through a series of mentorships, culminating in a spectacular series of performances.

With a theme of 'freedom', this year's Out Of The Boot production involves two ensembles of young actors aged 14-17 presenting two half hour plays. I Am The Messiah explores the dark side of reality TV, while Industrial Park deals with issues such as peer pressure, drugs and accountability for your actions through the story of a street kid who join a gang to gain a sense of family.
