After three amazing years of Young and Hungry, we are ready for the NEXT BIG THING!   NEXT BIG THING is a year-long youth company based at ATC that provides a bridge from high school to drama school and between full-time training and the professional industry. It is a hothouse for new talent: a place to develop new work and new ways of working.

SCHOOLS PROGRAMME

The act of encounter is at the heart of ATC Education, onstage and off. In the theatre, in the studio and in the classroom, we involve students by offering opportunities for connection and discovery.

Whether they're five, fifteen or twenty-five, we want to see your students spellbound. ATC Education works with schools, teachers and leading and emerging theatre-makers to spark a passion that will last a lifetime.

School matinees provide convenient daytime performances and school group prices, and are supported by post-show forums.

"It's so valuable being able to see such high quality theatre at an accessible time and for a good price."

Education Packs for each play in the school programme give students a comprehensive insight into the production and are a great revision resource.

"The Education Packs have been a great help and very informative.  I have used lots of the information/ interviews to help explain concepts and ideas they will need for the exams."

School workshops with professional practitioners give teachers and students the chance to get inspired, learn new skills, and explore different aspects of theatre practice.

"I just loved the way your three tutors got in amongst all the students and were friendly and down to earth as well as honouring the student's contributions - it does so much for their much needed self-confidence."
