Our Young Company offers a more focused and intensive grounding in performance and theatre making. Our weekly classes invite participants to explore and experiment with a range of approaches, techniques, and theory, while working collaboratively to create vibrant and innovative new shows which are fully staged in our theatre. We strive for professional standards in our work, whilst also maintaining a friendly and supportive atmosphere during rehearsal process. Furthermore, our members are invited to work on exciting new projects throughout the year with visiting professionals; in the last year alone they have had the chance to work with artists from Surge, Scottish Youth Theatre, Magic Torch Comics and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, in addition to taking part in the National Connections Festival.

Beacon Young Company performed Sealth & Hafety with Surge for Creative Minds: Community Arts Festival, 2023.
Beacon Youth Theatre worked with Scottish Youth Film Foundation to make a short film based on the topic of Climate Change. This was a development project which led on from their performance of This Is How It Happens.
The production was devised, directed and performed by the Young Company, developing from their previous show Gaia which took place during COVID-19.
