Today is #InspiringFutureTheatre Day, an annual celebration of the amazing work theatres across the UK do to inspire young people, communities and schools. Traditionally, in the weeks leading up to it, we host a whole range of events including everything from workshops and backstage tours to panel sessions and lively classroom chats.
Although we’re having to celebrate a little differently this year, we feel this initiative is more important than ever.
Join us on social media today and share your first theatre inspirations, what you love about theatre, why you’d like to work in theatre, and more! We’ve asked theatre-makers (and even some of the Official London Theatre team!) to share what they do, and all the reasons why they love it, so please do follow along on social media using #InspiringFutureTheatre.
And if you’re an aspiring theatre-maker, we’ve got a range of useful resources for you including Life Backstage to find out more about the people, skills and talent that go into each performance – including our partnership with Digital Theatre + and the series ‘My West End.’
You can also discover a world of opportunity at TheatreCraft – the FREE annual backstage careers fair for 16 – 30-year-olds; and online resources and opportunities that’ll help you Get Into Theatre.
If you’re you a professional theatre-maker who would like to support us in inspiring future theatre, please sign-up to be an #InspiringFutureTheatre Ambassador. You’re knowledge and experiences are invaluable and you can help to make a difference by connecting with a local school to share it.
We hope you’ll feel motivated, inspired and ready to join us for Inspiring Future Theatre next year.
