Young Company

The Dukes Young Company programme provides opportunity for young people to develop confidence, team work, communication and performance skills.

Our sessions run in term-time each year, each culminating in the chance for young people to perform on one of our stages. Sessions take place in our Moor Space building on Moor Lane and are led by The Dukes Creative Communities team.

Our groups are: 

 TUESDAYS

  • Juniors (school years 4-6): 4pm-5.30pm                                     
  • Intermediates (schools years 7-8):  5.45pm-7.15pm

 WEDNESDAYS

  • Seniors 1 (School Years 9-10): 5:30-7pm 
  • Seniors 2 (School Years 11-13+): 7:30-9pm.

Young Company Alumni

'I honestly think being given the opportunity to work alongside professional actors, get advice from them and learn how to properly behave in a working theatre is a huge part of who I am as an actor now.'

Young actor and Young Company alumni Ciara Kaighin Adams reflects on her time at The Dukes in her blog.
