Performing Arts Productions

Acting Company productions:

• March 2024 - 'Orchestra' - part of the National Theatre Connections festival
• May 2023 - 'Animal Farm'
• June 2022 - 'In the Company of Actors'
• June 2022 - As part of their BTEC Course, Year 13 students worked on a 'site specific' performance based in and around 'The Deep'.
  The performances were a mix of Dance, Drama and Song and consisted of both original and scripted works. The works were inspired by environment, heritage and 'water'.

Opportunities with the RSC

St Mary’s College is proud to be one of the first Royal Shakespeare Company Lead Associate Schools. Having piloted the scheme for the RSC, St Mary’s has now established partnerships with other secondary, primary and special schools in the region.

The partnership includes our regional venue Hull Truck Theatre enabling our students to take part in an annual festival either at Hull Truck or at St Mary’s.

As well as innovative teaching of Shakespeare, our students have opportunities to visit Stratford upon Avon to see productions and take part in a residential work experience programme at this world class organisation.

The Royal Shakespeare Company regularly brings their productions to St Mary’s College.

Cast, crew and backstage opportunities

We encourage students who may not wish to perform on stage, to experience the joys of working backstage with our state of the art equipment for sound lighting and flying scenery. To develop their skills we run a backstage club each week and once a year Year 12 students who have progressed through this experience are taken to work backstage at the Royal Shakespeare Company.
