As a part of Tramshed’s Young Company, you will form a company of actors and theatre-makers and be led by our professional Directors to perform a piece of new writing as part of the National Theatre Connections Festival.
Being a member of the Young Company at Tramshed, you will develop skills in acting and performance, accessing professional-quality training, working with our top-tier Directors. The Young Company is for young people interested in a career in the arts and will give you the opportunity to nurture your talent and learn more about working in theatre.
The 2026 Young Company will culminate in two performances of the play Fishville by Afsaneh Gray on Saturday 11 April and Friday 24 April in our main-house theatre.

Tramshed’s Young Company is FREE to take part in; we do wish, for those who can afford it, to make a donation to the programme that they feel comfortable paying.
Tramshed is a charity, and these donations are vital for us to be able to keep operating our Young Company and provide important development opportunities for young people in south east London.
Please email participation@tramshed.org with any questions.
