The company not only produces shows but also initiates innovative projects and new models of work. Theatre Café Festival (2008), Theatre Café (2004), Theatre Café Europe (2007) and our Young Europe (2004) season have successfully brought new foreign plays to UK audiences; Asylum Seeker Narratives and its successor Project R are community schemes that directly involve young people; the GAP Theatre Project, a unique peer-mentoring initiative, having finished its third successful run in 2007, has been expanded to create the Gap Theatre Project Teacher Training. The next planned Gap Theatre Project will take place in summer 2011 in a north London primary school, working in partnership with Scarabeus Theatre and Islington Community Theatre.
Company of Angels also actively nurtures and supports emerging artists through the Young Angels programmes and the Angels Associates scheme.
