ABOUT THE SCENE

we make theatre

At The Scene, we believe the best way to learn theatre is to create it.

We're not a traditional drama school. Instead of simply performing existing scripts, our members work together to devise, write, rehearse and perform original theatre using our unique Devise & Conquer approach.

Every project begins with an idea. A creative brief. A question. A mystery. A character. Together, we transform that starting point into performances that are completely our own.

Whether you're joining The Company to create full-scale productions or Flash Theatre to make a brand-new piece every week, you'll be part of an ensemble where every voice matters and every idea has the chance to become theatre.

What Makes Us Different?

Our sessions are built around three simple principles.

Create

Develop original characters, stories and ideas from scratch.

Collaborate

Work as an ensemble, learning how professional theatre is made together.

Perform

Share bold, original work with audiences in exciting and unexpected ways.

OUR pATHWAYS

The Company

Our flagship performance pathway.
