Cygnet Training Theatre is a British drama school based in Exeter, Devon. It is one of the 22 accredited drama schools in the United Kingdom.
Founded in 1980, the Company grew out of an association between Monica Shallis (1939-2006), Mary G. Evans (born 1934) and the Northcott Theatre, Exeter, then under the direction of Richard Digby Day. Cygnet has since grown into a full-time training company with its own Studio Theatre. It functions as a small-scale touring company, drawing its members from all over the UK and abroad.
