WORK EXPERIENCE

"I found it so interesting to see the whole show come together. Thank you very much for allowing me that great opportunity." 

Throughout the year we have a number of students and creatives who gain valuable experience with us. Our work is seasonal, but there is always work going on. If you want to be involved with a small producing theatre company, then contact us!

APPLICATIONS FOR 2026 ARE NOW CLOSED

Work Experience Week: 29th June – 2nd July 2026 

For Year 10 & 11 Students

Guildford Shakespeare Company is delighted to offer a limited number of work experience placements for students in Years 10 and 11, running from 29 June to 2 July.

This unique opportunity gives young people an inspiring insight into life inside a professional theatre company. Across four days, participants will:

• Gain an introduction to theatre-making and the variety of careers within the industry
• Take part in Stage Management and Marketing workshops led by our team
• Observe or get involved in technical rehearsals
• Watch the dress rehearsal of our summer show

Due to the hands-on nature of the week and our capacity as a working theatre company, places are strictly limited to 10.

If you’re passionate about theatre, curious about behind-the-scenes creativity, or simply eager to explore a new industry, we’d love to hear from you.
