National Theatre Connections (School Yrs 8–13)

Our brand new National Theatre Connections performance group is open to any Playmakers Youth Theatre member in School Years 8-13.

Members of this group will work on a brand new play commissioned by the National Theatre, leading to a minimum of two performances in two different theatres as part of the nationwide Connections youth theatre festival.

Although participants will need to be a member of one of our other Playmakers Youth Theatre groups, we are not only offering roles for performers - we're offering all production roles to participants!

The full roles we have available are:

• Actors;
• Assistant director;
• Costume designer;
• Lighting designer;
• Sound designer;
• Stage manager.

If you're unsure of which role would be the right one to opt for, then do contact our Young People's Producer, liam@playtothecrowd.co.uk to discuss further.

Rehearsals will begin on Monday 1 November and take place weekly through to the performance weeks in April.

Those participants in the group will be given a full rehearsal schedule in the first session on Monday 1st November. Please do note that schedules will be generated in a way which means no participant would be required to attend every week.
