Event Info
Connections is the National Theatre’s annual, nationwide youth theatre festival, celebrating the creativity and talent of young people across the UK.
Now in its 31st year, the programme has a proud history of empowering the next generation of theatre-makers.
Connections is open to any company of young people aged 13-19, and up to 26 for groups with additional needs.
Each year, Connections commissions a selection of brand-new plays for young people to perform, pairing some of the UK’s most exciting writers with the theatre-makers of tomorrow. We work with over 250 youth companies and more than 6,000 young people annually from every corner of the UK.
