Frequently Asked Questions

Are Creators Program workshops accredited?

The opportunities offered through the Creators Program are for artists and producers who are presently working in the industry and are part of their continued professional development. Consequently, the opportunities are not part of a course and there is no accreditation.

Do you provide feedback for opportunities?

We realise that it can be dispiriting to write letters, applications and proposals and not get a sense of why decisions were made. Consequently, where possible, we will provide opportunities to receive feedback, and this will be clearly indicated in the application process.

How do I get my work programmed at the Young Vic?

The Young Vic has an ambition to produce classics, revivals, new writing and cross-art form work. We have a small Artistic team who aim to see as much professional work as possible across the UK. We do not have a Literary Department and therefore we are unable to accept unsolicited scripts at this time.

There are a number of theatres which do accept unsolicited scripts such as The Bush, Theatre503, Live Theatre, the Royal Court, Paines Plough, HighTide and Talawa.

Due to the volume of enquiries and invites, we are unfortunately not able to respond to everyone. If we are able to engage with your work, we will let you know as soon as we can.

How do I get cast at the Young Vic?

We do not have a casting director on the Young Vic’s staff and therefore we always use freelance casting directors for all our work. If you are interested in working at the Young Vic it is best to get in contact with the casting director working on the specific show you would like to be considered for. To find out who is casting which show please contact our Welcome Team on 020 7922 2922.

How do I arrange work experience/internships at the Young Vic?

Our Production department provides work experience for students who are over 18 and studying production arts e.g. lighting, sound, stage management through a Higher Education course. Once a year, the Taking Part department run our Young Associates scheme for young adults between the ages of 18 – 25 who are based in Lambeth or Southwark. When applications for this scheme open, we will share on social media and our mailing list. The job will then be posted on our website. Their Twitter handle is: @YVTakingPart. We don’t run an internship programme, but we do provide placements through Reach Out and the Jerwood Assistant Directors Program to spend time at the Young Vic finding out more about how the theatre works. These opportunities are always advertised through the Creators Program Network.
