Young Actors Company


York Theatre Royal Young Actors Company (YAC) was created for 18-25 year olds with the objective of providing performance opportunities for young adults, acting as a bridge for some into the professional industry. The artistic vision of the company is aligned to reflect the artistic output of the building but with a specific focus on new, contemporary and site-specific work. The company is fully supported by the theatre’s in-house resources and is run by artistic director Julian Ollive, the theatre’s Education and Young Actor’s Associate.

The YAC produced its first works for the York Youth Mysteries in June 2008, followed by a new devised piece called An Exact Science? which explored the ethics of genetics. YAC's last production was the highly successful EQUUS in the main house as part of the TakeOver09 festival. YAC works on a project by project basis through auditions so we are always looking for new company members when a new project arrives.

YAC are currently in rehearsal for their latest production of Terrorism by The Presnyakov Brothers, which is on in our studio theatre March 31st - April 3rd, 2010.
