Storyhouse Young Company (SYC) (17-25 age group)

Storyhouse Young Company (SYC) is a free training programme for 17-25 year olds who are interested in performing and making theatre.  We are interested in people with a range of creative skills from actors, dancers, musicians, poets, MC’s and those who have no previous performance experience. 

It is a 6-month programme of practical workshops and masterclasses with professional artists leading to an intensive 3-week rehearsal and show period working with a leading professional Director. 

Storyhouse Young Company is designed to give you the opportunity to develop your theatre and performance skills. You will be supported by a team of professional artists with a wealth of experience in the industry to make a show to be presented in our theatre spaces.
