Theatre Royal will select successful student placements upon:  

• Receiving the written application  
• Finding suitable activity during the requested placement for the student to have the best and most successful experience.  

We encourage students to approach us directly and will accept applications in various formats including video or written form. Students must be able to supply their own portable laptop computer to participate in the work experience placement.
