Islington Community Theatre is an acclaimed theatre company that makes innovative, collaborative theatre with and for local people in Islington, North London.
We bring together people from very different backgrounds to create brave, inventive projects and performances, made in partnership with professional theatre directors, actors, designers and technicians. We choose not to have a permanent performance space, which means we can work flexibly across Islington and reach a wide range of people and places.
One of our key projects is Islington Youth Theatre, five separate companies consisting of over 120 young people aged 10-22, drawn almost entirely from local schools and youth services.
We are committed to changing the face of theatre in the UK by giving local young people and emerging theatre-makers long-term and individually focussed support and training from some of the best theatre professionals around.
In 2009 we were selected to perform on the Olivier Theatre stage at the National Theatre and were nominated for a prestigious Spirit of London Award.
