Hi Jon, I just wanted to let you know that having applied all the way back in January, I got offered a place today for the work experience week in June. Thanks for recommending it!

Thanks Jon, this looks really interesting and I'll definitely apply! Just wondered, how many places are there and is it hugely competitive?

Clearly. Thanks for both your replies Paul. I wonder if a company like Merlin might have an outdoor venue where I wouldn't officially be in a theatre? I imagine the same rules will apply though unfortunately.

Hi Everyone, I'm a Year 10 student (15) currently looking for work experience in a theatre or production environment. I'm very interested in lighting but would also be interested in other technical/stage management disciplines. I have designed and operated lighting for school productions of 'The Addams Family', 'School of Rock', 'The Great Gatsby' and 'The 39 Steps'. I have also designed and operated a 24 hour production of 'The Sound of Music' and have experience designing for talent shows and was follow-spot for a production of 'Honk!'. I'm also currently working on a design for 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'. Would anyone be willing to provide work experience in the Hampshire/London/Surrey area for the week June 24th to June 28th? Or be able to share contacts/advice for securing a work experience place? Many thanks, Sam
