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 30th Anniversary.

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