Who we are

RARE Productions is the largest UK’s largest theatre movement for young people, with over 5,000 participants, 50,000 audiences and 100 professional practitioners creating unique experiences across 35 regional partner venues.

This unique youth theatre group was formed in 2002 by Andrew Burton and David Marriott, as a response to the lack of large-scale theatre activity for young people across many of the UKs towns and cities. In partnership with many of the UKs regional touring venues, RARE Productions has gone on to provide over 300 large-scale productions for numerous communities across the country.
