Events range from 2-hour, high-energy, interactive workshops, through to weeklong residencies, or regular out-of-school sessions.

Workshops are a perfect aid to support the curriculum, an excellent intensifier to consolidate learning, and wonderful pre-exam revision aid. 

Workshops can be created to extend knowledge and as a dynamic study-aid, but are also a wonderful way to bring text and theory to life, as well as to encourage enjoyment, develop self-esteem and confidence.

Taking Your Students To A Live Theatre Production?

Playbox Theatre presents a lively programme of high-quality theatre every year in our beautiful theatre in Warwick. Coming up in 2021/2022 the programme includes Beauty & The Beast, Antigone, The Ancient Mariner, and The Secret Garden, along with Shakespeare and new writing commissions. 

For students studying GCSE or A/AS Level Drama & Theatre Studies, we know watching and critiquing live performance is an important part of their understanding and development.  We offer pre- and post-show engagement activities including panels and Q&As with the creative team, director and cast, behind-the-scenes tours and workshops based on some of the techniques and processes used during rehearsals. We also offer great group rates and resource packs for teachers.
