Are you currently a transition year student? Are you interested in working in a creative industry? Would you like to learn more about how theatre works?
The Gate Theatre is delighted to announce the launch of its 2027 Transition Year Work Experience Programme.
The programme is designed to give students an insight into the world of theatre through hands-on experience, creative workshops and opportunities to engage directly with theatre professionals. Students will develop an understanding of how a theatre operates and how productions are brought to life, while building valuable skills in communication, teamwork and creativity. The programme also aims to inspire students to explore potential future careers in the theatre and wider arts industry.
The programme will take place from Monday 12th to Friday 16th March 2027 at the Gate Theatre. Please note that the schedule will include evening hours, and applicants must be available for the full duration of the programme. Unfortunately, alternative dates or times cannot be accommodated.
The deadline for applications is Monday 23rd November 2026, and successful applicants will be notified of the outcome by Friday 4th December 2026.
There are only 10 places available on the programme. Applicants will be selected based on the information provided in their application. Please note that submitting an application does not guarantee a place on the programme.
