Young Company Theatre Making Exchange
We are launching brand new workshops this Spring where young people like you can explore the magic of theatre, build confidence, and develop skills that will last a lifetime. Whether you’re a keen performer, interested in writing or just curious about the world of theatre, our workshops are designed to spark imagination, encourage self-expression, and promote teamwork in a fun, supportive environment.
Young Company Create
Fire up your imaginations and discover the world of performance & theatre-making with our Young Company Create. Designed especially for young people with disabilities who feel they would benefit from additional support. Working with professional theatre practitioners, young people will expand their knowledge, learn rehearsal techniques and develop & refine performance skills.

Young Company Auditions
No Regrets will bring together members of the Young Company aged 14- 19 to perform this play as part of the National Theatres Connections Festival.
You will take part in a group workshop lasting approximately 1 hour. We will then see everyone individually and we will ask you to perform a short monologue which will be emailed to you once you have registered for the audition.
Tiny Tales
Join us for magical, interactive theatre storytelling sessions where 2-4 year olds and their grown-ups can explore enchanting stories together. Through songs, movement, and hands-on play, little ones will engage their imaginations while building language and social skills in a fun, welcoming environment. A perfect bonding experience for families to enjoy the world of theatre!
