Throughout the week, the group will develop their writing, drama and improvisation skills whilst preparing for a performance on stage at the professional theatre venue.
The activity week, is suitable for 7-18 year olds and runs from Monday, 11th April to Thursday, 14th April.

As well as learning new skills and gaining confidence, children will come away having great friends and experienced the thrill of working in a professional theatre.’
