Northcott People’s Company Autumn Term

  • Show Information

People’s Company is the Northcott’s adult acting group, meeting on a weekly basis at the Barnfield Theatre. Each term the Northcott People’s Company will explore drama techniques, practitioners, plays and characters, often working towards scenes or shows to share with an audience.

Participants will also have unique access to Northcott shows, ticket deals and more, and will be invited each year to audition for a Northcott main stage show with a community cast, which in 2024 was the hugely successful The Commotion Time (pictured).

“As someone who received actor training, but who has never acted professionally, NPC was a great chance to be led by professionals and to work with people who are also passionate about the craft of acting and all things theatre. As Martin Berry said at the start of the course, NPC provides workshops that are between am-dram and professional acting. I would recommend it as a brilliant, fun space to play in for all experiences and abilities – a fantastic opportunity.” – Northcott People’s Company participant

Made by Exeter Northcott. Exeter Northcott Theatre and Le Navet Bete present: Jack and the Beanstalk. No kids allowed. The title is green and has beanstalk vines wrapped around it. A giant's feet in red boots with shiny buckles can be seen on the left. The small figure of Jack stands in the middle, staring up at the giant we can't see more of. Next to him is a piglet, also staring up with a rather comical expression. They're surrounded by clouds in orange and pink hues.
