ABOUT US

​

NPA Productions serves the children and young people of Harrogate and surrounding areas.

 

As a vibrant and pioneering production company, we create unforgettable experiences that enhance regular training in the creative and performing arts and boost confidence.

 

We produce live performances and recorded media projects that are extraordinary and special. We aim to equip aspiring creatives and performers with the necessary skills, knowledge and production experiences to understand and access the creative industries of the future. 
 

CASTING INFORMATION

Our Production Company operates an open-access casting policy, which means that wherever you train regularly in the local area, you can audition for a role in an NPA Production. 

 

NPA Productions is NOT a training company, it's a performance company. We HIGHLY recommend supporting your young people's passions interests and aspirations though a regular weekly training option at a reputable school with excellent facilities and teachers. Performances are an incredible experience, but simply rehearsing for a performance is absolutely no substitute for weekly training. Different skills are learnt in performance and training and they complement and inform each other. 

 

 So, wherever you train, you can audition for a role in the ensemble, or for a main character, in ANY production or project. 

 

Projects are added throughout the year and anyone, within the right age categories, can take part in the casting process.
