Each year the National Theatre commissions ten new plays for young people to perform, bringing together some of the UK's most exciting writers with the theatre-makers of tomorrow.
Every year, 300 youth theatre companies and over 6,000 young people from every corner of the UK are producing a Connections play this year.
Applications for Connections 2022 are now closed. Do check our website for updates on future Connections cycles.
The National Theatre's Partner for Learning is Bank of America.
