On June 28, 2023, the Youth Theatre Troupe affiliated to and managed by the CAD’s Experimental Theatre Troupe was established, according to the decision of the President’s Office of the CAD.

Experimental Theatre Troupe is a comprehensive platform at the CAD for production, study, research and practice. It carries the important mission of producing quality works, exploring the training system for nurturing advanced, sophisticated and practical professionals, building a leading educational system featuring experiential learning, and promoting the integration of production and education.

The establishment of Youth Theatre Troupe has facilitated the Academy’s efforts for ‘Double First-Class Initiative’. It optimizes the development mechanism of postgraduate degree programmes and boosts the classified training of postgraduate students. It works to foster industry-college-institute cooperation for postgraduate students, and serves as an incubator for young, talented artists and their works.
