You may have noticed that our programme is much smaller this term than it has been in the Spring and Autumn.

This is because as well as being an active and commercial theatre, we are also heavily involved in the teaching, support and development of theatre and drama students in the Department of Literature, Film and Theatre Studies at the University of Essex and the Summer term is their main assessments period.

Our Technical Team are busy on a daily basis throughout the Summer term, working with drama and theatre students practically on their tech and rehearsals, helping them to get ready for their final performances.

The rest of our team are also working hard on planning the delivery of our programme for the Summer months, and planning the Autumn term programme (which we can promise will be packed full of Homegrown theatre, professional theatre performances, workshops and more!).

Make sure you come and see the final year drama students Individual Professional Practice performances during the Launch Festival, Tuesday 14 to Friday 17 May!
