The project offers participants the chance to work closely with fellow actors, established professionals and get a close-up look at the productions appearing in the Palace’s award-winning Victorian Theatre
The Company is free to join and applications are now open. Aspiring participants are asked to send in an audition video by Monday, 11 April. All the information you need is on our Young Actors Company page
