Work Experience

Providing invaluable experiences to support students in exploring creative careers.

Our industry led Work Experience programme provides an invaluable experience to support Year 10 and Higher Education students in exploring creative careers. 

The programme allows students to learn insights behind all aspects of running a professional theatre. During their time in the venue the team will work across all departments, hiring companies and artists.

Year 10 Work Experience

Week commencing Monday 29th June 2026

Each placement week is varied and changes depending on what is happening in the theatre at the time. You will work with up to 12 people from different schools and colleges.

Groups will focus on multiple projects throughout the week, and will also attend talks and workshops with different departments such as Marketing and Technical.

Please note, this placement is not actor training and there are no opportunities to perform or work backstage on a production. If you are interested in acting or technical theatre, this placement will still be useful to you as you'll learn about the industry and understand how all departments in a theatre work.
