Careers In Theatre Week returned for our first project of 2024!

What a way to start 2024! We welcomed 50 young people from across Greater Manchester to do work experience with us for a week.

Careers in Theatre Week is for young people aged 14-19 to get an insight into theatre industry careers. Our annual work experience event includes workshops with Royal Exchange Theatre staff, artists and practitioners, discovering the different elements that make a producing theatre come to life.

We had a jam-packed week full of incredible workshops. Leading the week we had actor & young company graduate Gurjeet Singh, alongside fellow actor Conor Glean straight off the back of his starring role of Romeo in Romeo & Juliet. We also had incredible facilitators such as Brief Encounter designer Rose Revitt, Artistic Director Keisha Thompson, Playwright & Artist Reuben Johnson, Director Nickie Wildin, Sound Designer Mark Melville. Also the students had fun with our staff learning and having a go at costume, prosthetic makeup, costume, lighting, sound and much more!
