Work Experience

Work experience placements are available to students from year 10 onwards and on to university students who have shown a commitment to working in theatre.  Placements for school age pupils usually last one week.  A typical week consists of casting and audition workshops, Front of House duties, an introduction to marketing and watching a performance.  The week may also include some activity with our education and participation staff.  Work placements for school age pupils generally take place towards the end of the summer term and we recommend you contact us as soon as you know the week you require

Extended work placements for university students are negotiated with the departments concerned.  Availability of all placements is governed by the theatre performance schedule and cannot be guaranteed.
