How to get involved

The National Theatre is proud to be supporting schools and communities through their Artsmark journey. Our programmes offer educators and students the chance to discover new skills and experience the magic of theatre.

All National Theatre projects provide resources and professional development opportunities for teachers.

All workshop leaders are professional theatre artists; actors, directors, designers and theatre technicians.

We offer bursaries for schools where the cost would be a barrier to participation.
