Roll Up! Roll Up! for the greatest week on Earth!
Our Summer Theatre Week is an exciting residential theatre school designed for young people and adults to explore their theatrical creativity within a theatre setting.
​
Across the week, participants will live, create and perform together - developing their acting craft, devising original work, exploring movement and voice, and building confidence both on and off stage. Guided by professional theatre-makers in a supportive, inspiring environment, you will leave the week equipped with industry skills, increased confidence in performing and new friends with a shared passion for theatre.
​
Whether you’re theatre-mad or just ready to try something new, SUMMER THEATRE WEEK is your chance to take risks, make friends and create brilliant drama.​​​​
