Early Years and Primary Workshops
Theatre-based workshops and projects for younger children.
We’re always seeking to build and develop long-term partnerships with primary teachers and students through a range of creative opportunities offered at the Playhouse and in schools.
Our education work is planned in consultation with teachers, educators and theatre professionals to meet curriculum requirements. Our sessions inspire and enrich the learning experiences of young people, no matter their age, and are delivered by professional artists with a passion for creativity.
