Work Experience

We offer some work experience placements for students from schools and universities; we are most likely to be able to accommodate students during school holidays, with timings during the rest of the year dependent on our busy working diary. In some cases, we may be able to offer shorter placements, such as two-day or three-days during term-time. We are always keen to offer the most interesting and fulfilling experience possible, so our ability to offer a placement is often based on what is happening at The Theatre during the dates requested.

Please note that we do not offer any acting opportunities, nor do we have costume, make-up or set-building and props departments. A typical placement at The Theatre may involve observing Take Part weekly sessions, working with our office team on administrative or marketing tasks, an ushering shift, and occasionally a day with our Technical department.

We may be able to offer full placements with our Technical Team depending on capacity and events taking place at the time.

How To Apply For Work Experience

Students are encouraged to apply personally via email. The email should include the work experience dates you are seeking, why you would like to undertake work experience with us, and which areas of The Theatre you are particularly interested in learning more about.

Should the dates be available you will be asked to attend a short, informal interview at The Theatre.

Please email takepart@chippingnortontheatre.com to apply or for any further questions.
