Company Three is a leading force for change for teenagers in our local community and around the world.
We are a theatre company led by the ideas of our 75 members aged 11-19. We recruit our members through deep-rooted relationships locally and share our practice globally to impact teenagers everywhere.
Working in Islington, North London, we make transformative theatre through long-term collaboration between young people and professional theatre-makers. Our plays have been performed at the National Theatre, Battersea Arts Centre, the Royal Exchange Theatre, the Yard Theatre and on the BBC.
We share our practice locally, nationally and internationally. Our blueprints have been used by more than 500 groups in more than 30 countries to co-create work with young people. We have trained hundreds of artists through our training courses.
Our awards include the Peter Brook Empty Space Award for Innovation, the Stage Award for Community Project of the Year and Outstanding Drama Initiative at the Music and Drama Education Awards.
At Company Three we believe youth theatre can be a place of community, radical art and social change. Despite our global reach, we are fiercely local to and are proud to work with the young people of Islington about the issues which affect them most.

Our mission.
We work long-term with local young people, training them as theatre-makers and providing a safe space in which to grow, explore and take risks.
We make plays in which our members can express themselves and the change they want to make, for audiences of people who have the most influence over their lives.
We share our practice and plays so that they can be used and adapted by organisations and artists working with teenagers everywhere.
