Three free programmes will be held around Salford to help teenagers with an interest in non-performing elements of making theatre.
The beginners level programmes, Digital Arts, Design and Fabrications and Technical Theatre, are for Salford teenagers.
Stage Directions Producer, Steph Green said “Each group has 15 places. Each group will have over 40 hours of contact time with professionals from each specialism,”.
Stage Directions, a city wide arts programme, is funded by Arts Council England and Department of Media, Culture and Sport, and is hosting the three ‘Off-Stage Ensembles’.
Steph said: “Whilst lots of people know that you can become an actor or singer etc, less young people are aware of how to access other parts of the theatre industry like design and technical.
“Salford teenagers will be upskilled for jobs and opportunities that are on their doorstep.”
