Take Part at Northern Stage

The participation team is proud to announce a wealth of activities taking place this Autumn.

There’s loads going on for young people this season, not least the launch of Northern Stage’s first ever Young Performance Group in September. If you’re aged between 13 – 16 and full of ideas and enthusiasm you should sign up now for the chance to take part in this 10 week project which will culminate in a performance on the magical set of our under sixes Christmas show, The Goblin Who Saved Christmas. We’ll be hosting a variety of performances and events throughout ‘Juice’, a celebration of work by young people for young people throughout October and November, and on the 1 November we welcome the return of our popular Family Day. Why not come along and make your very own gingerbread house that will be displayed in the theatre for all to see over the festive season?

For more chances to get involved with our two fabulous Christmas shows, Hansel & Gretel and The Goblin Who Saved Christmas head along to Seven Stories to meet the cast in an extra special story telling session and make Goblin decorations to adorn the Northern Stage Christmas tree (more info coming soon). Don’t forget you can purchase a limited edition A4 picturebook of The Goblin Who Saved Christmas when you book your tickets for the show online or at Box Office.

This autumn we have decided that it shouldn’t just be the performance group who get the chance to get involved with Northern Stage skills workshops so we are delighted to announce a new season of workshops open to everybody. They take place on a one off basis so you can just pick and choose which sessions you think you would enjoy. You don’t need any special knowledge or skills, just come along and have some fun and learn something new. The first session is with Monkfish productions on Wednesday 8 October and even better, it’s FREE with a ticket to the show!

Next month the participation team will be starting some behind the scenes work on the Looking For Bill project which will take place in and around Newcastle in October. Forming part of Northern Stage’s ongoing exploration of theatre taking place in unusual spaces and theatre spaces being used in unusual ways, Looking For Bill will culminate with some of Shakespeare’s most remarkable monologues being performed in places you would least expect them...keep your eyes peeled on the Metro!

For more information on any of these projects see the participation section of the website.

Hopefully see you soon! Sophie.

The Goblin Who Saved Christmas, the picture book

The Goblin Who Saved Christmas, picturebook cover

We are proud to announce that to accompany our under-sixes childrens show this Christmas, we will be producing a beautiful A4 landscape picture book. With hand drawn illustrations by John Disley, whose work you may know from our previous under-sixes shows, this will make a perfect stocking filler.

We're now taking pre-orders, and given that last years Tattercoats book sold out, we'd recommend getting your order in early. You can order here, or find out more on the Goblin showpage. The books will be just £3.50 each, and will be held for collection at Box Office when they arrive in November.

RSC brochure correction

It has come to our attention that there is a misprint in the RSC's Newcastle season brochure. The two matinee performances listed for Don John on Wednesday 28 and Friday 30 January are in fact both evening performances at the usual time of 7.30pm.

Applications closed for Wang Qingsong

With well over 500 applicants, we're sorry to say that we've closed the initial interest form for the Wang Qingsong project. If you applied then you should have recently received an email telling you a little more about the project, and requesting extra information about yourself.

If you missed your chance then you're still welcome to come along to the theatre on Saturday 13 September and watch the installation unfurl on the screens around the venue.
