A warm welcome to this year's Work Experience Week students! Every year a group of students spends the week at Polka spending time with each department and learning how we make theatre, before giving their production pitch at the end of the week.

Last week we welcomed 20 students from years 11 and 12 to learn all about working in theatre. From production to development, these students threw themselves into learning about every department here at Polka. We can't wait to see what they achieve in the future! 🎉
