Funding secured for national Spectrum Youth Theatre residencies 2026!

We are delighted (and grateful) to announce that Arts Council England and Enterprise Arts Trust have awarded us funding to deliver another year of national Spectrum Youth Theatre (SYT) residencies, across 2026!

Building on from the national model we developed in 2022, this set of residencies will see us partners with venues across the UK, enabling more neurodivergent young people to attend the residencies. Our partners this year include the Little Angel Theatre (London), Whittington Speech & Language Therapy, Prime Theatre (Swindon) and The Brewhouse (Burton-upon-Trent).

Three Premieres Wrapped!

We had an absolute blast premiering Three and huge thanks to everyone who came to see them!

A particular highlight was the intergenerational sharing that took place at the Quarterhouse, Folkestone, bringing together over 200 young people, from local schools and older adults, from the community.

Three is taking a breather for now but look out for touring news coming in 2027!

“I left the show emotional… it’s evocative and makes you think of time passing and, memories of people that have been in that position, the sadness and the loneliness of people. But, in the end, hope and love, there’s still time to enjoy yourself and to find happiness.” – Audience Comment from intergenerational sharing

Three – The Power of Agency

What does it really mean to have agency? When we premiered Three at the end of last year, we knew we were sharing a deeply human story, of connection, memory, independence, and those quiet moments that define us.
In a brilliant article for SCENE Magazine, Molly reflects on the show’s creative journey and the personal questions it sparked around control, creativity and care. From long development gaps to working with both puppets and masks for the first time, Three has been a show shaped just as much by real life as by rehearsal.
“Sometimes the most complex subjects are best explored through raw, human emotion.”
