Work Experience Opportunities at Lawrence Batley Theatre
2025 October 2Passionate about the arts? Considering a creative career in the future? Apply now for work experience at Lawrence Batley Theatre.
Every year we offer a small group of students the rare opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of a live performance venue. But our work experience week isn’t just about observing, students will be part of the action. From assisting with front-of-house duties and engaging with audiences, to shadowing our technical team backstage, students will gain hands-on experience in the fast-paced, creative environment of a professional theatre.
This is more than just work experience — it’s a chance to develop real-world skills in teamwork, communication, and problem-solving, all while exploring the many career paths the theatre industry has to offer.
Applications for the 2026/2027 school year will be announced in due course.
Work experience for the 2026/2027 school year will be taking place from 5th-9th July 2027. Unfortunately we are not able to host students on any other weeks this year.
If you are interested in doing work experience during this week please send a short email to rebecca@thelbt.org outlining:
