The Queen’s Theatre offers work experience placements for students in year 10 and above and specialist work placements for university and college students.

A work experience placement at the Queen’s involves working with all the departments in the theatre. If you are interested in performing you may be disappointed, as a placement here will not involve the opportunity to do this. You should be prepared to do a very wide variety of work, both office-based and practical.

A specialist work placement at the Queen’s involves working in one or two departments in the theatre. If you are studying a particular theatrical discipline at college or university or you’re interested in getting more experience in a particular field such as Stage Management, Scenic Art or Wardrobe then this may be for you.

Once again if you’re interested in performing you may be disappointed, as a placement here will not involve the opportunity to do this. You should also be prepared to do some work in other departments from time to time.
