Ever wondered what it’s like to work for London’s leading, independent, not-for-profit theatre?
The Old Vic is offering a one-week work experience opportunity for up to 25 participants aged 14–18 who are taking part in either our Schools Club or Take the Lead programmes. The next course will run from the 08–12 Jul 2024, 10am–4.30pm each day at The Old Vic. Over the course of one week you will:
- Discover how a producing theatre operates
- Meet industry professionals and find out more about careers in the arts
- Develop key employability skills – teamwork, communication, problem-solving and public speaking
- Watch a main stage show at The Old Vic
You will take on a series of challenges set by different departments such as producing, marketing and education & community. Through each session you will gain an insight into how a busy producing theatre operates. At the end of the week, you will work together as a team to curate, plan and run your own panel event, putting to use all the knowledge you have gained over the course of the programme.
This programme is free to take part. You will be provided with a free lunch each day and travel bursaries are provided to all participants to cover the cost of London travel.
