Teacher's packs

Coming to a performance as a school group? Teacher's resource packs to aid lesson plans and activities before and after performances are available to accompany some productions.

Open day

Once a year the Friends of The Playhouse host an Open Day where you can come and take an exclusive look behind the scenes of The Playhouse Theatre. Learn about the History of the building, explore the dressing rooms, and take centre stage!

Tours are in groups of 15 and last around 20-30 minutes, no booking necessary!

Pre and post-show discussions

Where possible, we can arrange free discussions with performers, writers and directors for the benefit of students. These offer a chance to understand the creative process behind the production and put your questions to the company.

Booking Information

Flexible reservation periods are available for school bookings. We also offer one free teacher’s ticket for every 10 pupils in your group. To book your tickets, please contact the Box Office on 01934 645544.
