About Portsmouth Road Productions' Pathways Programme:
Pathways was born as a response to both the climate in the theatre industry, post Covid-19 pandemic, and (what we viewed as ) a lack of support of young artists wanting to progress in the industry. We aim to provide a variety of programmes to help emerging artists, whatever their age or experience, to help them progress in the industry. We will never claim to have all the answers - anyone who says they do rarely do and are only preaching from their own personal experience. From our experience every individual's path is different, even if their destination is the same.
The company is committed to providing opportunities to those from low social-economic and under-represented backgrounds, demonstrated through bursary places in all our workshops.
