Company Three is a leading force for change for teenagers in our local community and around the world

Company Three is a company of 75 young people aged 11-19 in Islington, North London. We make plays for adult audiences that speak deeply of what it means to be a teenager, through long-term collaboration between our company members and professional theatre-makers. Our work under our previous name, Islington Community Theatre, includes Brainstorm at the National Theatre and on BBC iPlayer.

Where will young people go after the social media ban? What’s the alternative to staring at a wall?

Young people need places to connect, express themselves and be creative. Right now, youth theatres, arts groups and youth centres are doing that brilliant work, but they’re stretched thin.

If we want to fill the void this ban will create, we need more connection, more creativity and more joy.

That’s the power of Youth Theatre.

For hundreds of thousands of young people across England, youth theatres are places of support, joy, sanctuary and creativity. But underfunding has deprived those youth theatres of something they used to do all the time: connect. That's why are launching GET-TOGETHERS.

GET-TOGETHERS are fully-funded, day-long events bringing youth theatres together to share practice and plan for the future. They take place all over the country this June and July.

🗓️ Apply before the deadline on Monday 1 June.
