The Ambassador Theatre Group is proud to support an extensive programme of Creative Learning activities across its many theatres.

We have busy Creative Learning Departments across the UK delivering regular and varied programmes of events and classes. All programmes include activities related to the shows being presented in the theatres as well as opportunities to explore theatre-making more generally and to build personal skills.

In addition, we offer regular events exploring the options available to young people interested in a career in theatre.

We are proud to annouce that all Ambassador Theatre Group venues have been awarded the Quality Badge for Learning Outside the Classroom.
The Ambassador Theatre Group is also an active member of Action for Children’s Arts and fully endorses its recent Manifesto for Children’s Arts which is inspired by Article 31 of the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child:
'Every child has the right to rest and leisure, to engage in play and recreational activities appropriate to the age of the child and to participate freely in cultural life and the arts'

ATG Work Experience Programmes
The West End Theatres run a join Work Experience Programme offering a week during the Easter holiday specifically for year 10 applicants, and a fortnight during the Summer holiday for year 11+ applicants.

The Programme offers participants a chance to gain experience of the work behind the scenes in a West End theatre, from box office, ushering and front of house, to lighting, stage door, stage management, theatre management and producing.

Work Experience for Summer 2010 is now full, we will be making the application forms for the Easter 2011 week available on this page in Jan/Feb 2011.

Please note, as most of our theatres are receiving venues we do not have the following departments in-house: costume, make-up, production or stage management. If you are interested in gaining experience in those areas, you need to contact a producing theatre.

How I book a place on your classes?

How do I become an actor/administrator/technician in theatre?
We recommend visiting the Get Into Theatre website for background information on careers in theatre, work experience, current opportunities and training.
Back to top of page

Can I audition for your shows?
Unfortunately not. Most of the shows presented in our theatres are produced by other theatre producers. Therefore, the Ambassador Theatre Group is not involved in casting them – the producers do that.

We occasionally audition for children’s roles in some productions which have a large number of children in the cast such as pantomime, but this is rare. Such opportunities are usually advertised locally.

If you want to be an actor, we recommend visiting the Get Into Theatre website for background information on careers in theatre, work experience, current opportunities and training.

How can I meet the stars?
Sometimes we are able to offer unique opportunities to meet the actors and creative teams through events like pre- or post-show talks. Information about all such events will be listed in each theatre’s Season Brochure and on this website.

Please remember that actors are busy people who work hard to give their best performance at every show and whilst they are usually very happy to take part in Question and Answer Sessions occasionally, it is unreasonable to expect them to engage in such events all the time.

I am a theatre education practitioner. How can I work for the Ambassador Theatre Group?
We are always interested to meet new freelance practitioners. Please send a CV to the Head of Creative Learning (see our Contact Us page), or to your local Creative Learning Manager, if you are interested in working for the Group.
