Wise Children is one of the UK’s leading ensemble theatre companies, and our production team is a vital, professional and playful part of the family. Our School runs workshops and courses to inspire the next generation of theatre makers.

• A backstage tour of Blue Beard
• Learning to show call a section of the show with the Deputy Stage Manager
• Learning to mix a section of the show with the Sound department.
• Setting props with the Assistant Stage Manager and Company Stage Manager

Who we’re looking for: We’re looking for people at the start of their career. You don’t need experience in mixing or show calling, but you do need some experience backstage. You’ll be over the age of 18, will have had some training or some work backstage (including youth, community, or amateur productions) and you’ll be looking to take your next step into the theatre industry. We want to hear from emerging Stage Managers, Wardrobe, Sound, Lighting and AV Technicians, with an interest in touring.

Please note as Wise Children offers this workshop around the country, preference will be given to local artists. We consider our taster as being an ideal way to connect with regional artists that we wouldn’t normally get the opportunity to meet.

There are only a few places available for this opportunity, so to apply please complete this short application form to tell us why you would benefit from a place on the workshop and why you would like to take part. You will be notified via email on or before Fri 29 Mar if you have been allocated a place on this workshop.
