Career Pathways and Development for Students

BACKSTAGE PASS

Share the magic of theatre with our immersive Backstage Pass tours.

Backstage Pass is the perfect way to give your students a greater understanding of how a professional theatre works and an exclusive, behindthe-scenes look into theatre and music production.

Available as an add-on to a show or a standalone activity, each tour is unique and can be tailored to meet your school group’s learning outcomes and needs.

PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS Kindergarten – Year 6 (Early Stage 1 – Stage 3)

These tours are ideal as an add-on activity for schools attending a show or workshop. They usually run for 30 – 45 minutes and are designed to provide an overview and develop your students’ appreciation of the theatre and how it runs.

jUNIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS Years 7 – 10 (Stages 4 – 5)

Running for 1 – 2 hours, tours for this stage work well as an add-on to a show or a standalone activity. They provide students with an overview to the theatre and explore details around lighting and sound, stage mechanics, theatre roles and event management.

SENIOR SECONDARY STUDENTS Years 11 – 12 (Stage 6)

Ideal for students studying Drama or VET Entertainment, we recommend a half or full day tour with a focus on specific areas. These tours delve further into the complexities of lighting and sound, stage mechanics and more.
