Students work on professional shows and projects in order to get lots of experience in the areas that they are most interested in.  This includes things like acting, dance, technical and media skills, and Front of House work.

Being on Making Theatre also helps people grow in confidence and get better at communication and team working.  Students can also get support and training for other practical skills such as using computers and ttravelling independently.

All students work towards a qualification accredited by the Open College Network (OCN).  You can become a student if you have a learning disability and are aged 19 or over.

Full time programme:
•  You will work Monday to Thursday during term time

•  Artists and performers who already work in the arts will come in and run workshops so you can learn all about what they do

Part time programme:
