our work

This is what sets us apart

Real productions in real theatres — and unexpected places. From the Edinburgh Fringe to touring shows and funded wellbeing work, this is the portfolio no commercial drama school can match.

EDINBURGH FRINGE

From a Hampshire hall to the Fringe

Performing at the world's biggest arts festival is the kind of opportunity most young performers only dream of. Our Ensemble has taken original work to Edinburgh — and it's a journey any member can aspire to.

The building features a large sign that reads 'MIST Mayflower Studios.' The group appears happy and diverse, with some people smiling, and their reflections can be seen in the glass windows behind them.
