Holiday Theatre Weeks - Exeter Northcott Theatre

During some school holidays, we get a group of young people together to make a brand-new piece of theatre in just one week (sometimes less)! It is a great opportunity to develop skills, express creativity, meet new people and perform. You can find details here of all the Theatre Weeks we are running over the next year.
