Young Producers
An opportunity for 16–25 year olds to learn about theatre producing
Our Young Producers are a group of young people who want to learn about theatre producing, with a specific focus on participatory events.
The programme offers a group of 16–25 year olds the opportunity to programme events and workshops in response to main house productions, as well as develop key producing skills related to project pitching, event management, and marketing.
Young Producers meet staff from across the team and learn what goes into designing the Almeida’s programme, participation projects, producing main stage productions, and running the building.
As part of Almeida Young producers, all participants will:
- Gain access to the Almeida Theatre and its work
- Gain access to theatre professionals and their expertise
- Feel more confident in finding future pathways for involvement – both with the Almeida theatre and the wider industry
- Develop producing and programming skills, gaining hands on experience planning and delivering participatory activity or project with a focus on artist development
