What will I learn?
SLY Theatre work on a production to production basis and what you learn very much depends on the show that is in rehearsal. We aim to cover a variety of techniques for rehearsal and performance and each session will have an element of workshop work that feeds into the current production rehearsal schedule.
Do I need previous experience?
Previous experience is not necessarily essential for people wishing to try out for the Company, as the emphasis is not on what you know, but what you are prepared to learn and it has already proved a winning formula over the past few years.
What if I don't want to act?
There are limited opportunities for stage management, lighting, sound, backstage experience and front of house. However, we do encourage an ensemble approach to productions and would expect all members to be involved in the workshops leading to a performance.
