TheatreFest 2025

TheatreFest brings together students, teachers, and theatre professionals from across Essex for schools and our Mercury Young Company in the Community to devise a themed 10-minute theatre piece to be showcased on the Mercury stage. This year the groups are devising pieces inspired by our Associate Company Frantic Assembly who is celebrating its 30^th Anniversary.

Participation in the festival fosters respect, excitement, artistic development, teamwork, problem solving and a true sense of community.

The line-up is as follows:

Tue 21 Oct: St Benedict’s Catholic College, Helena Romanes School and College, Stoke College, Mercury Young Company in the Community, DanceEast.

Wed 22 Oct: St Benedict’s Catholic College, Colchester Prep and High School, Thomas Lord Audley School, Clacton County High School, Mercury Young Company SEND.
