Year 10 students had an exciting and inspiring day at the Theatre Royal Plymouth as part of their National Theatre Connections project. Connections is the National Theatre's annual, nationwide youth theatre festival, celebrating the creativity and talent of young people across the UK. Now in its 31st year, the programme has a proud history of empowering the next generation of theatre-makers

Students took part in workshops, rehearsals, and performed their play on a professional stage—impressing audiences with their creativity and confidence. The experience gave them a real insight into the world of theatre and the collaborative effort behind a production.

Students also had the chance to watch other schools perform, gaining fresh ideas and inspiration. It was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate their hard work and develop their skills further.

A big thank you to the Theatre Royal team and all involved for making it a memorable day!
