The Merlin Theatre works with schools in a number of ways:
Theatre productions chosen to appeal to school audiences
Companies who produce work for children and young people are usually able to offer additional workshops and Education Resource Packs to accompany the show.
A venue for school productions and film screenings
The Merlin's 240 seat auditorium is available to hire. DVD projector and other AV equipment is also available (see Technical page for more details).
Backstage Theatre Visits
Tour the theatre and see the workings of a professional theatre. We can demonstrate lighting, sound effects and even the smoke machine! We can also organise drama workshops during your visit.
Workshops with visiting professional companies
Many of the theatre and dance companies who perform at the Merlin can offer workshops for school groups.
We also run weekly theatre and dance groups for 5-19 year olds – please visit the Youth Activities page for further information.
