Creative Learning at the Churchill Theatre
Welcome back to Creative learning and an exciting year ahead! We had a fantastic Long Weekend back in July (see tab for details) where we saw over 300 people take to the stage and perform over a packed 4-day programme. We are now looking forward to a busy autumn term and alongside our popular programme we have a new class for ages 20+ in Creative Writing on Tuesday evenings. Places on all our classes are limited, and extremely popular – please check out the classes page and select the specific class you are interested in to see how you can join in. For information and booking on our Beginners Comedy, Young Drama and Young Company classes please go the relevant class page.
Work Experience will be taking place in July 2023; please see the Opportunities with us tab below for details on how to apply. For ages 16+.
We look forward to meeting you!
