thecompany Music Theatre is a national musical youth theatre, backed by a creative and administrative team who deliver passion, drive and talent when they engage with young people. Although we’re a relatively new organisation, the collective experience of the creative, technical and administrative teams is extensive and growing. As well as working with thecompany, all of our team are developing within nationally and internationally recognised organisations, excelling as professional practitioners and placing us with a supportive, collaborative network. Unlike other some national youth theatres we have no bias towards the southeast, or any geographic region and we strive to recruit performers and supporters from across the country. Our directors and members of our team are based in the southeast, midlands and northwest, and work even further afield.
Taking our cue from the cultural renaissance enjoyed in the northwest over recent years, our debut production was presented in the Dancehouse Theatre, Manchester in 2008. IT achieved critical acclaim and the support of the Manchester Evening News, culminating in winning the BIZA Award and a cheque for £5000 at the M.E.N. Theatre Awards 2008. In 2009 Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along achieved acclaim nationally and, in 2010 the Company moves to The Lowry Theatre for Parade on 27th and 28th August 2010.
