Course Details

Ideal for: Anyone aged 18-25 

Get up close to the RSC this summer with our week-long immersive programme in Stratford-upon-Avon. Spend five days with creatives and practitioners from across the RSC, while also taking part in events around our summer season. Each day you will attend workshops that offer industry insights through a variety of practical sessions with actors and RSC departments, including casting, and discussion-based insights from academics.

The 18-25 Summer School is ideal for those interested in theatre and Shakespeare, whether from an acting, directing or academic perspective, and for those who are currently at or are recent graduates from universities and drama schools, or about to attend. Additional tickets (RSC £10 Tickets supported by TikTok) for RSC productions should be purchased separately, ideally at the point of booking for: The Winter's Tale (Tuesday), Fat Ham (Wednesday), The Two Gentlemen of Verona (Thursday). 

RSC £10 Tickets must be booked by the young person or full-time student who is watching the show. To find out more or book Stratford-upon-Avon shows online, follow the steps here.
