Location: Polanentheater, “Grote Spiegelzaal”

Ever considered how a piece of theatre transforms from words in a script to a living, breathing, dancing show in front of a live audience? It’s a lot more than actors learning their lines!

Ever wondered what happens backstage before the show, or what happens in the booth during a performance?

This hands-on workshop will equip you with the essential skills and knowledge you need to excel as a Stage Manager. From pre-production planning to calling the show itself, Ellen will guide you through every aspect of the Stage Manager's crucial role.

Remember; wear black!
