Company15 is a week-long work experience programme for young people aged 14-17. Designed to inspire a career within the arts, Company15 students will gain an insight into the workings of the largest and most well-attended regional producing theatre in the UK.

Over the course of a 5-day week, Company15 students will work with staff across the organisation at both the Theatre Royal Plymouth and our Production and Learning Centre, TR2 in Cattedown. Formulated especially for those who are interested in or studying Theatre, Design, Technical Theatre, Stage Management or Arts related subjects, the group will take part in creative workshops, talks and watch a show in one of our performance spaces. Team members from different departments will share their skills, expertise and routes into the industry.

Company15 2025 will take place on Monday 14 July – Friday 18 July 2025.

Work experience will consist of 5 days between the dates stated. Exact timings will be confirmed closer to the time.

For the most part, the work experience is wheelchair accessible. However, Company15 includes a tour of Theatre Royal Plymouth and there may be some parts of the theatre building that aren’t wheelchair accessible backstage.

Applications for Company15 2025 are now open!
