Buxton Opera House Youth Theatre

The Young Company is Buxton Opera House’s flagship membership scheme for young people. For their first major project since launching in 2014, the Young Company will be taking part in the National Theatre Connections Festival - a UK wide scheme giving young people experience of professional theatre making.

Mister Ellody has quietly kept his accordion shop going on the high street for generations. One day, he steps out of his door and witnesses an extraordinary incident: hundreds of young people are surging onto the street, and they've all received the same text message on their phones which simply says "The Road. 7pm. Riot."

The Young Company is for anyone aged between the ages of 12 and 25. As well as acting, the company has opportunities for performers interested in musicals, backstage work and marketing.
