WORK EXPERIENCE

We love welcoming students aged 14–18 for a behind-the-scenes look at working in theatre. Our one-week work experience placements offer a fun and inspiring introduction to the many roles that are needed to make a show happen.

During the week, students get to spend time with different departments – from Technical and Marketing to Fundraising and Box Office. Every placement includes a backstage tour, and, when we can, a chance to see a show too!

Our next placements are set to take place in July 2026 on the following dates:

  • 6th – 10th July 2026
  • 13th – 17th July 2026

Applications are now closed.

Placements will be offered by Friday 6th February 2026 and must be accepted by midday on Thursday 19th February 2026.
