About the week

They are looking for young people aged 16-18 to join us for a week of work experience in February half term.

Successful applicants will be taken behind-the-scenes to work closely with the Donmar team and other young people in a number of sessions to gain an insight into theatre-making beyond the rise and fall of the curtain. They will face real life tasks and scenarios to help them gain a better understanding of what each role entails. At the end of the week, they will leave with their own action plan for their next steps.

Sessions will take place in person at Donmar Dryden Street and online, following the government guidelines at the time.
