Schools’ activities

Our schools' activities give students access to theatre and bespoke learning opportunities to encourage creativity in and outside the classroom.

Enhance your students’ learning experience with our dynamic range of activities tailored for various key stages. We offer:

  • In-school workshops
  • Tickets to Brixton House productions
  • Professional development (CPD) for teachers

This year, we have an engaging range of school activities relating to the following productions:

  • Sophia Leonie’s debut play MILLENNIUM GIRLS bringing together an all-female cast navigating first kisses, bullies, friendship and free yards.
  • Energetic and powerful drama One Way Out by Montel Douglas, exploring young British Caribbeans’ experiences of the Windrush crisis as they transition into adulthood.
  • Brand-new musical BLACK POWER DESK by Urielle Klein-Mekongo, inspired by the Mangrove Nine and activists of the 1960s and 1970s alongside the undercover operations of New Scotland Yard, set to a soundtrack charting ska, pop, calypso and reggae.

In-school workshops

We deliver bespoke workshops to school groups that centre on themes relating to our current productions, led by Brixton House Associate Artists, award-winning theatre-makers and experienced facilitators.

Please note:

  • Workshops can take place at your school or at Brixton House, availability dependent.
  • Workshops are available to schools across London with priority given to students in the borough of Lambeth.
