The Arden Theatre Company was set up with the sole aim of producing theatre to the highest quality possible. The company is run, artistically and administratively, by the young people involved, although will happily draw on the expertise of various trusted adults, although only to provide a service (e.g. vocal coach, dental technician) which the current company can't provide.

It is important to stress that, as Arden is specifically geared towards quality productions, the company is not, and does not claim to be, an 'acting for young beginners' company. Membership of the company is limited, and is on an audition basis - and as the plays are chosen to suit the company as it stands, there is little opportunity to get involved. Still, if you think you've got it, it's probably worth a try.

Aims

• To create quality theatre of the highest possible quality


• To encourage serious acting of a high standard from all members of the company


• To develop and improve, both as a company and as individual performers
