A little about us
The Young Company is a not-for profit organisation. Our vision is to provide grassroots development for young artistic minds within the Far North Queensland region by creating a theatrical space ruled by expression where young people can experience a deeper understanding in all aspects of the arts, in turn creating a cultural environment offering a whirlpool of opportunity.
