As well as getting all the benefits of work experience at The Marlowe Theatre, you will have the opportunity to design and develop your own drama workshops for students within the College, as well as schools in the local area.

Visiting local theatres and seeing professional performances is also a big part of our curriculum, designed to help you see and reflect on your own work.

Further work experience opportunities are supported by our Industry Liaison Officer, who finds placements that are right for you.

We also benefit our community by taking part in social action projects which help with development and skill progression, as well as making a difference locally.
