If you are a young person interested in musical theatre then MYCO is the place to be! We are a company of about sixty teenagers who enjoy "putting on a show", whether that is our annual musical at the Oxford Playhouse or our summer concerts. It requires dedication and commitment but the rewards are great, both in the fun we have together and the lasting friendships made. There is also something very special about creating something together to an extremely high standard and bringing joy and delight to a packed theatre.
As a company, we encourage all our members to participate in all our activities including shows, concerts, annual workshops and outreach activities, for it is by working together and supporting each other that we are able to reach our consistently high standards. Everyone is important. Everyone has a role to play, whether you are playing a leading role or on the back row of the chorus. Whilst we are proud of those members who go on to drama school and professional theatre work, we are equally proud of those who use the skills they have learnt in MYCO to achieve in other areas and it remains a joy to see a shy 12-year old blossom into a confident young adult during their time with MYCO.
Please do look at our FAQs for answers to your questions about being a member, as well as our Code of Conduct. There are some candid rehearsal shots in our gallery and you can learn more about what MYCO has meant to previous members, as well as where they are now, by looking through our alumni posts.
Meanwhile, don’t forget to follow us on Twitter or find us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.
New Member Auditions
Owing to the unprecedented number of applications to audition for MYCO this year, we have now filled all available audition slots and have regrettably taken the decision to close our applications earlier than the original deadline of Sunday. Our next set of auditions will be in April 2027 and the application window will open at the end of January 2027. Only the first 100 applicants will be given an audition slot- we generally take fewer than 20 new members annually. Thank you for your continued interest in and, support for MYCO.
