Education and the Theatres

The North Devon Theatres Trust does not simply present performances - it is deeply committed to developing a wider understanding and appreciation of the arts.

As part of this work - aimed at young and old alike - the Theatres run various schemes and activities to encourage people to find out more about the Theatres themselves; to become involved in performances; to meet players and performers; to take part, with the cast, in discussions about plays; to participate in workshops and other activities with theatre and dance companies.

These events are coordinated by our Education Officer: Carol Turner. You can
