Let Us Bring Theatre to Your School
Want your pupils to experience theatre but can’t travel to Nottingham Playhouse? We can help.
We regularly create small scale performances which can be toured to schools. This is a great opportunity for children to see live theatre in their own school setting. The next production we’ll be touring is Hansel and Gretel. Find out more about the production here. More information and dates for school tours are coming soon.
To find out more about touring productions or if you’re interested in the schools tour of Hansel and Gretel, please email participation@nottinghamplayhouse.co.uk.
Theatre Workshops
We offer a variety of fun and engaging theatre workshops all year round, delivered at your school or at Nottingham Playhouse. Find out more here.
