Year 12 Drama Careers Trip to Queen’s Hall Arts Centre
Our Year 12 A Level Drama students recently enjoyed an inspiring careers-focused visit to Queen’s Hall Arts Centre in Hexham.
Students were given a fascinating behind-the-scenes tour of one of the North East’s leading arts venues; Queen’s Hall, Hexham, discovering the huge range of careers that keep a professional arts centre running. From the CEO and programming team to audience development, marketing and box office staff, students learned about the many different pathways available within the creative industries.
The group also had the opportunity to meet the directors and cast of Triple Treat Theatre and gain an insight into the rehearsal process for their upcoming festive production of A Christmas Carol.
One of the highlights of the day was being invited into the rehearsal room to take part in the creative process. Our students loved learning a brand-new song with the cast about “Ebenezer being the geezer he is!” and left full of enthusiasm for the production.
The visit also introduced students to future volunteering, work experience and career opportunities within the arts sector.
We are incredibly proud of our Year 12 students, who represented QEHS with professionalism, curiosity and enthusiasm throughout the day. They were fantastic ambassadors for our school.
Thank you to everyone at Queen’s Hall Arts Centre and Triple Treat Theatre for such a memorable and inspiring experience.
Respect. Engage. Aspire.
