About

You stand, your heart racing,
Breath quickening, your stomach twists and turns
Sweat dripping from your brow,
Time stops and then starts again,
The next hour goes by in a flash
Your body moves, your voice sings
Your brain fires…then you hear it,
That wave of applause and you realise...
This won’t be the last time you step on stage…

Bristol Old Vic Young Company is an extraordinary ensemble of 450 young people who collaborate with professional artists to make work driven by theatrical curiosity

The Young Company welcomes anyone aged 7 - 25

Young Company Director Tid
