The Young Company is the Royal Exchange Theatre's award-winning, resident Company of Young People aged 14 – 21.

As part of the Young Company you will have access to weekly workshops, production opportunities and free tickets to our main house shows.

“To me, the Young Company is a place where you can truly be yourself. Everyone wants to challenge themselves whilst making sure no one is left behind.”

Each year, a new cohort of Young People will become part of our MAKERS, WRITERS and PERFORMERS groups. As a Young Company member you will gain in-depth training and practical opportunities so you can develop, create and grow your love of theatre at the heart of Manchester’s biggest producing theatre.
