A writing competition for 14 to 30-year-olds from or based in the North and Midlands
Hive Young Writers’ Competition is open to young people, aged 14 to 30, living, from, based or with a home (or term) address in the North/Midlands.
Whether stories or poetry (or both) are your thing, you can enter up to 2 pieces of work at any time before midnight 23 Feb 2025.
There’s no set theme (the competition is completely open), we’re just looking for your best work.
Young Rep Backstage is a fully funded course for those aged 18-25 who are interested in a career in backstage theatre.
The course will run from March – July and will cover skills in Lighting, Sound, Stage Crew, Stage Management, Wardrobe and Workshop. Participants will take part in masterclasses and workshops in all areas of production, and work closely within one department here at The Rep to develop skills in that area.
Come along to our Recruitment Day on Tuesday 25 February at 10am where we will share more information about the programme. Please register your interest by Friday 14 February.
Our aim is for the programme to be fully accessible and will work with participants to meet their access needs.

Is playing with a Regional NOYO Ensemble for you? If you’re interested in joining from September 2025, a great way to find out is to join one of our Open Rehearsals in person or online in January, February and March 2025.
This is your chance to watch a rehearsal, meet some of the Music Leaders and musicians in your region, and ask any questions you might have.
Open Rehearsals are relaxed and will take place where we rehearse, in accessible venues.
Applications for Regional NOYO Ensembles will be open from 14 February – 31 March 2025 for 11-25 year-old musicians.
We also welcome applications from young disabled people with musical potential who might not yet play an instrument but control eyegaze technology or head trackers in a way that could transfer to playing the Clarion accessible instrument.
