There’s still time to book your online audition slot and join the company in autumn 2020.
The Young Actors Company is welcoming new members, and we’d love for you to join us.
We’re more than just a youth theatre. We’re a family.

We have a friendly, fun and diverse membership of young people from across Merton and neighbouring boroughs. We work together to produce original theatre and online content, using performance as a tool to entertain, change lives and contribute to our community.
Friendships made within the company endure and blossom – during lockdown, our online programme has encouraged resilience, communication and creativity. We are so proud of what our members and directors have achieved.
With an exciting blend of online and offline idea development, rehearsals and performance, we have an amazing and unique programme shaping up for 2021 – and we’d love you to be a part of it.

You can apply to join if you’ll be in school years 7-13 in September 2020. You don’t need any experience, just lots of enthusiasm and an interest in the performing arts – whether that’s acting, filmmaking, writing, directing or singing/dancing.
If you’re going into year 7 in September, we’d particularly like to hear from you. We know that starting secondary school is never easy, and this year will be even more challenging in light of the pandemic.
Joining our inclusive, creative and confidence-building theatre group could help to make the new academic year lots more fun!
