Work experience, Placements and volunteering opportunities
Oxford Playhouse offers work experience placements throughout the year, we welcome students into the lively and varied atmosphere of the theatre administration departments. Students have the opportunity to sample work in the marketing, development and learning departments, they spend time in the programming & productions office and try their hand at ticket office, front of house and ushering duties as well as venturing backstage to work with the in-house technical crew.
It is important to note that the standard work experience placement at Oxford Playhouse is administration and management focused. There is no opportunity for performance. However, if you are interested in the whole process of running a theatre and presenting a varied programme of touring shows, we look forward to hearing from you.
Current work experience dates at Oxford Playhouse are as follows:
Monday 7 to Friday 11 October
We welcome applications from GCSE and A-Level students at Oxfordshire schools interested in learning more about the workings of the theatre. We do accept applications from outside Oxfordshire but aim to offer a high proportion of placements to students who are locally based.
We are always over subscribed so please don’t be disheartened if you are not selected this year. To apply please download the pack below and return the application form via email to Learning Co-ordinator Hester Bond hester.bond@oxfordplayhouse.com
