This term our Theatre School members will be working on one of three productions, in our Easter ‘Otherworlds: A Sci-Fi Festival’.

Exploring theatre making, acting and performance through the lens of the Sci-Fi genre.  We will be looking at dystopian societies, the advancement of technology and the very core of human nature. Journeying through remote galaxies and staging some of the most exciting texts of the 21st century.

Our Backstage group will get to develop specific skills that will support the productions with opportunities to work on one of the three shows in varied backstage roles – including: lighting, sounds, design, prop making, make up, costume and stage management.
