Very Youthful Company
Pangdemonium’s Very Youthful Company (VYC) returns in 2025!
This year, successful applicants between the ages of 14 and 19 will perform Twelve Angry Jurors by Reginald Rose — a timeless, tense drama about justice, moral values, and standing up for what's right — directed by Pangdemonium’s Associate Director, Timothy Koh.
If you’re passionate about theatre, this is your opportunity — whether you’re stepping into the programme as an actor or stage manager, you’ll also get to dabble in costume design and marketing.
VYC will begin with a series of weekly Saturday rehearsals from September through November. This will then be followed by a daily intensive period in the final two weeks of November — gearing up to an unforgettable performance on 6 December 2025.
Guided by workshop guests and Pangdemonium staff, participants will hone their craft while gaining a comprehensive understanding of the entire theatrical process. This unique experience offers young theatre-makers the chance to explore theatre from both a production and performance perspective.

“I walked into a nurturing and safe environment, yet one which allowed me to push myself to explore more about my art and myself. I walked away with an unforgettable experience and have made lasting relationships in this process.” – Dharshan Nathan, participant from VYC 2022
“One of the most fulfilling educational theatre companies that I've been a part of, I found a place of both security and freedom in the Very Youthful Company. I could trust my peers in the company as well as my director, allowing me to express my opinions and explore as a theatre maker in the setting of a performance. I've both met people and made memories that I will never forget.” – Zoe Rowe, participant from VYC 2022
“VYC allowed me to discover the sheer joy of theatre-making within a supportive and nurturing environment. Not only did it enrich my passion and cultivate growth as a performer but also provided me with invaluable insights beyond the stage – a taster of just how much effort goes into a production, including marketing, costumes, camaraderie, and more. This delightful experience has and will profoundly influence my artistic journey.” – Pearlin Chew, participant from VYC 2023
