• Company Hui are compulsory sessions every Tuesday in term time, from 6:30-9:30pm. 
• Production Blocks run in the winter and summer school holidays.  

The hours will vary week to week based on training requirements, for example, some weeks will involve workshops whereas other weeks will consist of intensive rehearsals. 

Register for an Open Day Audition. At the audition, you will:  

• Participate in fun activities, games and exercises 
• Meet the company leaders 
• Hear all about the Company & ask any questions  
• Talk about what excites you in theatre
• Fill out an Auckland Theatre Youth Company application form 

Parents or guardians are welcome to drop you off at Open Day and can meet the co-leaders before the session. They cannot stay for the Open Day. 

The Auckland Theatre Youth Company will be selected by the Youth Company leaders. We are looking for a Company who represents the diversity of Auckland’s Youth.

We celebrate individuals and do not discriminate on the basis of ethnicity, gender, sexuality or disability. We do not accept bullying or harassment of any kind.

• If you don’t get a recall to join the Youth Company, you can join the Youth Associates. 
• Many of our Company members audition several times before gaining a place, so it’s important to not give up.

This will vary case-to-case based on the amount of unavailability. You can give an indication of the date(s) you are unable to attend to the Company leaders when you meet them at Open Day Auditions.
