Backstage Class

Primary School Theatre Tour

Ever wanted to know what goes on in a theatre when nobody is looking? Liverpool’s Royal Court now has tours for primary school age children to show them backstage, onstage, in the dressing rooms and all around the building.

The tour, led by industry professionals, lets them have fun with sound, lights and special effects. They will get up on stage to take a bow and be able to ask any questions they like (the stranger the better). They might even hear a ghost story or two…

These tours are available for teachers to book with our Theatre Engagement team. If you are interested in bringing your class then get in touch with Vannessa on vpark@liverpoolsroyalcourt.com to find an available date.
