Work Experience

In 2021, Bristol Old Vic would like to run two work experience weeks. Each week will be have places for up to 20 school students to join us to gain valuable insights into working in the theatre industry.
There will be one week for Year 10s, and one week for Year 11s who were unable to take up their places in 2020.
We will do our best to deliver Work Experience week onsite and in person. However, if due to Covid restrictions we are unable to; it will be delivered online.
During this week the group will:
- Gain an insight into the everyday running’s of a leading regional theatre
- Learn about the diverse range of jobs available in the theatre
- Take part in a variety of workshops led by different departments such as Box Office, Producing, Marketing and Engagement
- Meet a range of other young people interested in theatre
- Complete the Bronze Arts Award
