Work in Theatre Week (14-18 years)

Work in Theatre Week (14-18 years) tickets in Edinburgh

Work in Theatre Week is a five-day creative learning programme at Edinburgh Playhouse for young people aged 14 to 18, delivered through ATG Inspire. Participants work directly with industry professionals across costume, technical production, acting, directing, set design, front of house, and specialist make-up, with the week structured around the venue's live production of Jersey Boys.

What the week involves

Each day runs from approximately 10:30am to 4:00pm, with later finishes on days that include a show. The provisional schedule opens with a backstage tour and a Q&A with the Edinburgh Playhouse technical team, before moving into hands-on workshops covering costume, special effects make-up, acting, and directing. A set design session and a front of house shadowing shift during a matinee performance are also included, alongside two opportunities to watch Jersey Boys.

The programme combines practical workshops with industry talks and Q&A sessions, so participants hear from working professionals about a breadth of career routes rather than focusing on performance alone.
