We've had an exciting couple of weeks packed with outreach activities! 🌟 We welcomed two groups of primary school children from INSPIRE for World of Work mornings at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane and His Majesty's Theatre. They discovered careers beyond the stage, learning everything from operating the lights to scanning tickets. 🎭 We hosted our first-ever Creative Venue Technician Apprenticeship Assessment Centre. Twenty brilliant young technicians competed to join us as apprentices for the next two years, working across our six West End venues on some of the biggest and best shows on the planet. 🚀 This week, we were at Big Bang, engaging with over 20,000 young people (aged 11-14) alongside representatives from the National Theatre, Creative Alliance, Preevue Ltd, Theatre Royal Haymarket Masterclass Trust, and Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts. We discussed careers in the field, the skills involved, and opportunities to gain them. With the generous support of White Light, Autograph and Unusual Rigging we had an amazing stall featuring moving lights, dry ice, and music theatre bangers galore! #Outreach #FutureTalent #CreativeCareers #TheatreIndustry #Inspire #Apprenticeships #BigBangFair

We had such a blast hosting a group of primary school students for Inspire Education Business Partnership "World of Work" week earlier this spring! ✨   We threw open the doors of the Cambridge Theatre, giving students the opportunity to operate the lights, the sounds and smoke machine as well as embarking on a lost property treasure hunt in the auditorium.   Their enthusiasm was contagious, and it was a joy to pull back the curtain on the behind-the-scenes magic that bring our shows to life.   We can't wait to host more of these fantastic events at our other venues throughout the coming months! #InspireEducation #WorldofWork #Learning
