Young Company productions at the Third Stage. Stratford Festival Associate Director Robin Phillips, in his sec- ond season as Director of the Young Company has assembled an ensemble which features thirteen talented actors, many of whom arc returning for their second season. They will be joined by special guest artist William Hutt and Peter Donaldson and William Webster, who will perform and work as counselors with the company. The concept of a Young Compa- ny was formulated in the 1970's by Robin Phillips, and was first seen under his direction in 1975 at the Avon Theatre. Today the company has its home at the Third Stage where the actors are encouraged to take creative risks and accept new challenges in a stimulating envi- ronment. They achieve this with the support of experienced direc- tors, training staff and senior mem- bers of the Stratford Company. Last year's Young Company was hailed as "The best Young compa- ny ever", "Nothing Tess than in- credible", with "A hat trick of suc- cesscs for Robin Phillips and the talented company he has assem- bled". In several major newspapers' year-end roundup of the theatre sea- son the critics were unanimous in their praise of the Young Compa- ny's 1987 productions. mate such as ours.
