Free Radicals Youth Theatre follows on from Free Range Youth Theatre, which was officially launched in Siamsa Tíre in September 2008 and was set up by a group of people from Tralee, in association with Siamsa Tíre, who felt that there was a real lack of such opportunities for young people in the area.

The founder members of Free Range Youth Theatre were: Joe O’Brien, Michael O’Halloran,  Bryan Carr, and Deirdre O’Halloran in association with Catríona Fallon and Fran O’Connor of Siamsa Tíre.  Additional facilitators include Sharon Costello.

In 2011, Free Range Youth Theatre received sponsorship from Kerry Education Services and from Kerry County Council's Arts Office.

FRYT’s most recent production was All Things which was especially written for FRYT by Neil Flynn.  Previous productions include And It's All True! staged in 2010.
