Applications to Join Clean Break's Young Company are Open

We are looking for women and non-binary people aged 18 - 25 to join our new programme

Clean Break’s Young Company is a new theatre training programme for young women and non-binary people  who have lived experience of the criminal justice system or who may be at risk or on the fringes of it.

Our unique programme is for people:

• who are excited by developing their acting and theatre skills and creating work for the stage.
• who want a non-judgemental safe space to thrive and express themselves creatively.
• are willing to commit to a year-long programme of training.

The two-day-a-week programme will run from October 2025 to July 2026, and offers theatre skills training alongside personal development. The sessions will be delivered by Clean Break core staff, leading industry artists and a trauma-informed team who specialise in working with young women.

Alongside acting and theatre making training and personalised wrap-around support, the company will also perform in a brand-new commissioned play.
