Course Description:
Magnus Theatre is the only professional theatre between Winnipeg and Barrie. We offer students the unique opportunity to learn about theatre in a welcoming and supportive space, guided by trained and experienced theatre professionals. Young Company gives participants a glimpse into the world of professional stage acting - from the audition process to the rehearsal hall and then performing for live audiences on Magnus Theatre stages. Supported by Magnus’ team of professional instructors, designers & technicians, the company will develop their theatre skills and then demonstrate what they’ve learned through participation in two full-length productions throughout the year.

This season our Young Company: Studio production returns in December 2025. These productions give greater focus on participants’ acting skills by looking at tougher texts in a more stripped back performance style. Previous Young Company productions have included; The 39 Steps, the hilarious Potter parody Puffs and gangster spectacular The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui. Members of Young Company also get access to free or discounted access to other Magnus TIE workshops and masterclasses as well as free membership to our Student Club season ticket program.

PLEASE NOTE: When selecting our 'Initial Payment' Option for Young Company, you are agreeing to make two additional payments of $250 during the Winter and Spring.
