Young aspiring actors, directors, designers, writers, and theatre artists are being invited to apply for a new Youth Theatre company in Tamakai Makarau.
It's for 16-25 year olds, and it's the initiative of the Auckland Theatre Company. The aim is to give our next generation of theatre makers a head start in their careers, and the year-long programme is free.
Ahead of auditions that will be held once Auckland moves to orange, Lynn Freeman spoke to two of the four artists leading The Youth Company programme - Keagan Carr Fransch, and from ATC, Sam Phillips.
She asked Sam what will differentiate this initiative from other youth theatre groups, notably long-time Auckland company, Massive?
