About The Unknown Theatre Company
The Unknown Theatre Company is about making good theatre, giving young people a chance to perform in quality productions.
We welcome everyone aged 13-25, whether or not you have theatrical experience.
We also run special session and productions for younger members, aged 8-13.
The Company stages musical theatre shows, both new and well-known, alongside other related activities: we take part in exchanges, give concerts, enter choir and other competitions, go on tour, and anything else we think might be of interest to the Company members.
We have also recently added some serious, non-musical theatre to our achievements, and we have just completed the Company's first full-length play.
Use the links to find out more about The Unknown Theatre Company, and take a look at what we're planning for our next production - and how to book tickets.
If you have any questions, or would just like to get in touch, please do contact us. We'd love to hear from you.
