Get behind the scenes at the Court Theatre
If you're thinking about
making a career out of acting or getting more involved in the performing arts, then you need to check out the Theatre Ambassador Programme for Secondary
School students
Each year two students from every school are chosen as ambassadors. Their job is to strengthen ties between the Court Theatre and their school and they also get to attend workshops, rehearsals, previews and specialist seminars. It also means free entry to Court Theatre productions and discounted tickets for friends— bonus!
How to get involved
Have a word with your drama teacher or else email the Court Theatre for further details. Also, check out our Bliss interview with two previous Ambassadors who went on to perform in professionally in Court 2.
What do others say about the scheme?
Here's what some of the other ambassadors have said:
- I enjoyed everything about my role. The shows, the behind-the-scenes experience, meeting new people and the staff, learning more about new productions
- It was great getting an insight into different aspects of the theatre and hearing people from the industry — especially Ross Gumbley
- You provided more than I expected!
- The workshops were awesome
- I particularly liked how the Ambassadors were invited to so many performances and dress rehearsals
- It's definitely more suitable for people who want a job in these fields and not just people who enjoy Drama for recreation
- Such an exciting experience and opportunity
- You get to see the shows free and get treated like a VIP and form an association with the Court Theatre
