Overview

Join us to take part in fun, interactive workshops exploring ‘behind the scenes’ elements of theatre. Workshops are entry-level and will be a mix of creative and social sessions with fun crafts, games and activities. There will also be workshops in some of the following areas:

The Northern Stage team and guest artists will give you a basic introduction to each of these areas, with an opportunity to try an activity in each discipline.

This is an entry-level group for anyone curious about learning what goes on in a theatre while meeting new people, trying new things, and getting creative – no experience needed!

Fee information

This group is FREE for people taking part. As part of the group, you’ll also receive a free ticket to see a show with us at Northern Stage.

We may be able to offer financial support for public transport if transport costs are a barrier to taking part, please let us know on your application form if this is the case.
