Classworks Theatre

Classworks Theatre is a professional company based in Cambridge with a focus on work for and with young people. We run youth theatres, tour nationally and have worked in countries such as Latvia, Germany, Poland, Finland and the USA. We are well established in running a range of youth theatres which have achieved critical success (including the first winners of The Independent Award for the best production of the Edinburgh Fringe) and we are aware that currently there is a bit of a gap for those from 18+. We intend reinstating this very popular group, to create an interesting and adventurous theatre company!

Classworks at the ADC Theatre

18-25 Theatre Group

Interested in theatre? Want to have a go?

Perhaps you are a student, on a gap year, didn't get into university this time around, are working, not working, or have a young family - whatever your situation this group maybe just what you need! You do NOT need any previous experience - just an interest and desire to work with a group in an imaginative and creative way.

Working with professional theatre director Jenny Culank, we will meet on Thursday's at the ADC Theatre from 7.15-9.15pm. We will work on new and unusual performance projects, developing your performance skills and confidence, exploring the written play and the physical language of performance, devising our own work, exploring the importance of design and visual impact and understanding vocal technique. Sessions will also include from time to time invited guest professionals and speakers.

Love theatre, hate performing? If you want to help backstage, in stage management, costume, design, even in our office helping with marketing and publicity, or perhaps general work experience within a theatre company, just contact us. We can respond to all sorts of requests, just ask!

The Classworks team consists of:

Jenny Culank and Claudette Bryanston (Artistic Directors)
Gayle Macgregor (General Manager)
Maria Sanderson (Administrator/Marketing)
Lucy Crowe (Youth Theatre Director)
