YOUNG COMPANY
Our Young Company is an advanced rehearsal-based class for students in Years 11 to 13, welcoming all abilities. Each session focuses on preparing a production for performance on a professional stage. These classes offer an in-depth, professional, and creative approach to theatre, exploring a wide range of styles , from musicals and comedy to drama.
Our weekly rehearsals cover a diverse range of plays and musicals throughout the year, with the class performing on stage twice annually.
We understand that school workload can be heavy at this age, especially with exams at the end of the year. That’s why our production schedule is designed to fit around your academic commitments, helping you stay stress-free while enjoying a fun, creative break from revision for an hour and a half each week.
Over the years, you’ll have the opportunity to perform a variety of productions - from classic plays and musicals to innovative devised pieces.
This term we are in rehearsals for 'When This Is Over', ahead of performing this at the cornerHOUSE in July 2025.
Please note due to this being a performance company, the free trial must take place in the first 3 weeks of term and we require full commitment to sessions to ensure that production deadlines can be met.
NEXT PRODUCTION
Our next two Young Company productions are 'The Addams Family' with our Tuesday group, whilst our Thursday group will be taking part in National Theatre Connections, performing at the Lyric Hammersmith. Rehearsals for both commence in September 2025.
From the very first workshop audition, throughout the rehearsal process our Young Company will work with our professional production team, creating challenging and inspiring pieces of theatre, as part of a collaborative rehearsal process.
Each Young Company group perform one full scale production a year in February/March time, and a smaller piece working around exams at the end of the academic year.
Past productions have included the hit musical, 'Godspell', and incredible plays 'Jekyll & Hyde', 'Brainstorm', 'Girls Like That', 'Kiss/Marry/Push Off Cliff' and 'Red'!
