ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG COMPANY MEMBERS TO MAKE, WATCH AND LEARN MORE ABOUT THEATRE.

YOUNG COMPANY PRODUCTIONS

Throughout the year, the Young Company stage several productions that allow members to create fresh and innovative work in a professional environment, learning from and working alongside our in-house team and other professional theatre staff.

Each year the Young Company will produce:

- A Studio show
- A devised show
- A show in collaboration with our Elders Company
- Two interactive events in the Royal Exchange Great Hall – called Table for Six

All of which allow company members to put their skills training into action and experience making a variety of different scales of work.

Other opportunities to perform both in and out of the building are offered throughout the year. For more info on past productions,  click here.

COMPANY NIGHT

All Young Company members receive a free ticket to each main house show at the theatre, meaning they can be amongst the first audience members to see the Royal Exchange’s new work.
