touring THEATRE FOR SCHOOLS
N-Act for schools
All our workshops and performances are designed to be inclusive, engaging, provoke questions and discussions, and ultimately benefit students in a variety of different educational environments. Offered as productions, workshops or Drama GCSE and BTEC packages, we have developed a range of options each designed to support Drama and PHSE teaching across all ages.
Google review: “I am a teacher at an alternative provision school. This professional, engaging and factual performance brilliantly engaged staff and pupils alike. I cannot fault the delivery of this very difficult subject matter I would recommend N-Act to every secondary and adult provision provider, not just schools.”
“The play was very well acted as well a superbly written to suit the audience: witty; creative and memorable. The play was amazing, staff and student feedback has been so positive!”
