Our ensemble of young theatre-makers, aged 17-25
–
Fee: £100 per term | Can be paid in instalments
Bursary placements available
Playhouse Young Company is a collaborative ensemble of young people aged 17 to 25 with a commitment and passion for creating theatre and developing performance skills. Participants will develop key performance skills through a professional lens as they embark on rehearsals, leading to a studio performance on our Main Stage
A two-term project across Autumn 2025 and Spring 2026, participants will spend the early parts of the project building skills in voice, movement and expression, then exploring the script for the Spring Term performance ahead of the Christmas break.
Roles will be allocated and there will be an expectation to learn lines ahead of the return to the rehearsal room in the Spring Term, when participants must commit to rehearsals on both Wednesday evenings and Saturday daytimes.
No audition is required to join our Playhouse Young Company, but early booking is encouraged as spaces tend to fill fast.
