A Younger Theatre is an organisation committed to supporting and nurturing emerging creative talent in theatre and the arts. Founded in 2009 as a blog, A Younger Theatre has grown to become a publication, production company and resource for emerging creatives.

At the heart of our work is a platform for those who are often unheard. We champion the emerging generation. We celebrate excellence and pride ourselves on professionalism, while also leaving room for risk, failure and learning.

As a publication we…

…train emerging journalists and critics to respond to theatre, the output of which can be seen across the main A Younger Theatre publication.

…run the Edinburgh Young Critics’ Scheme pairing emerging writers with professional critics at the Edinburgh Fringe.

As a production company we…

…produce Incoming Festival in partnership with New Diorama Theatre, the festival of best emerging theatre companies.

…support emerging creatives through bursaries, workshops and hands-on production experience.

As a resource we…

…give opportunities to emerging creatives to engage in theatre and the arts through partnerships and events, digital takeovers and socials.

…offer ticket discounts, competitions and engagement with theatre the arts.
