Research into local theatre companies

 Research into local theatre companies



As my documentary is based on Musical Theatre in the North East, it is incredibly important to see what already is on offer for young performers and whether these organisations are enough. From just a quick google search, the predominant companies that stand out are:


-Northern Stage

-Alphabetti


-Centre Stage

-Southpaw

-Live Theatre

-South Tyneside academy of Musical Performance


There are a multitude of different groups based across the entirety of the North East, which makes me believe that my documentary may be more positive than I originally thought. 

Coming back to this research once my primary interviews were completed, it was evident that these theatre companies are providing local theatre lovers with experience and a taste of the industry. Based on the organisations that were mentioned by the interviewees, I curated some information about them and what they can offer. I was constantly learning throughout the whole process of production, which only aided in my project as I was almost acting like the audience.








I will be able to include this research throughout my documentary to show the support of young people interested in Theatre, evident through the interviewees sharing their experience from it. As mentioned previously, documentaries are supposedly non-fiction, therefore hearing from those in the industry talk about their own experiences with these companies will be extremely beneficial to my project.
