Pilot Theatre is a multi-platform organisation. They work with diverse teams to make a wide range of work for a range of audiences. By working with artists of the highest calibre across all our platforms it enables us to make new ‘pilot’ projects – original commissions, theatre tours, conferences, workshops, digital delivery and participatory projects.
Based at York Theatre Royal, UK, since 2002, they are one of very few national touring mid-scale companies to be based outside London and are therefore able to offer unique training & work opportunities for artists and young people in mid-scale touring that they may be unable to get anywhere else in the region.

Working with excellent established artists they nurture emergent talent and develop next practice with leading practitioners and teams across all our platforms of delivery. The audiences and communities they reach are reflected by the teams who make and deliver that work.
Pilot’s planned programme of work focuses on creating ‘new work from diverse voices’ where new and reimagined texts hold meaning and relevance especially to our target audience of young people. This work is structured on five strands – Touring Theatre, Participation, Learning, International Outreach Online.
