Young people

Under 30 and into theatre? You've come to the right place

And it's not just shows we have to offer here at CFT (although our £5 Prologue tickets are a total bargain).

Events, career and networking opportunities, Youth Theatre, and café discounts are all available to you.

So what are you waiting for? Come on in.


Work experience

We offer Work Experience placements during our Festival Season for applicants aged 16+ (at the time of the placement). Applications open around the end of February/beginning of March each year for placements that take place in May, June and July. Sign up to our Prologue scheme (if you haven't already!) to be one of the first to hear when applications open.

These opportunities are designed to support anyone interested in pursuing a career in theatre, those exploring if theatre is right for them, or students taking part in college or university placements.

Each placement is different, depending on the department you are working in and what we are working on in that moment. Some opportunities mix administrative and practical tasks, whilst others are focused on gaining an understanding of technical or production skills. All placements are voluntary, and usually offered across one week.
