After an initial “find-your-feet” period of about eight months, The Young Theatre (at Harrow) - including its early incarnations as The St.Alban's Junior Drama Group [1964-66] and The Young Theatre (St Alban’s) [1966-1970] - was administered by an Executive Committee made up largely of the young people themselves, and encompassing the full range of members’ ages. After the introduction in September 1966 of the first written Constitution, these Committees were elected at each Annual General Meeting.

Unfortunately many of the records of the Harrow group have been lost, so the information regarding the composition of these Committees is somewhat limited. The following is all that is currently known - and any further information would be most welcome.

Unfortunately no records exist for the years 1964 to 1966. A committee was elected by the members, but was less formal than in subsequent years. The first official Executive Committee was elected for the 1966-7 Season, and was as follows:

Executive Committee 1966-7
Group Director Ian R. Wallace
Asst. Group Director Martin Wallace
Junior Asst. Director Neil Saunders
Secretary Mary Goodes
Treasurer Julia Fryer
Membership Secretary Andrew Kitchen
Asst. Treasurer Alison Sandell
Stage Manager Dave Maskell

When the first written Constitution was introduced in September 1966 this set out the future composition of the Executive Committee, although this did tend to be modified slightly from season to season.
