Have you ever been to a CFT Theatre Day? If not we'd love to see you at one soon. Our next Theatre Day will be for The Caretaker on Thursday 27 June.

At a Theatre Day, you get a real insider view of the show from our creative teams and technical crew. Over 90 minutes, you'll enjoy demonstrations and discussion, and we'll finish just in time for you to catch the matinee of the show you've just become an expert on!

Our Prologue Ambassador Noel told us what he likes about Theatre Days:

I find it fascinating to see how much goes into making a performance work. It's a fantastic opportunity to ask questions and get an insight into what the creative and technical teams do.

  • An old man is holding a knife, pointing towards someone off camera. He is wearing a long brown coat, looking very agitated. He is leaning his other hand on a cabinet door and is stood infront of a dirty wall with peeling wallpaper.
  • A scuffed wooden box is filled with metal tools: Rusty pliers, files, a large hammer, a pot of chisels and screwdrivers, a ball of string.
  • Cluttered boxes cover the floor in a rehearsal room, with the camera looking down on them. Including: a scuffed wooden toolbox filled with rusty pliers, hammers and chisels; a crate filled with dirty glass bottles; a shopping basket with paint cans and rollers.
  • A young man with slicked black hair holds a large brown bag. He is wearing a chequered blue shirt and black jeans, and has a confused expression. He is standing in front of a wall covered in peeling, dirty brown wallpaper, next to a window with a sheet hanging across it.

  3. A full lawn of people dressed in summer clothes are enjoying drinks, chatting and milling around outside the Festival Theatre. We can see the building clearly in the background against a bright blue summer sky and there are multicoloured flags flying in front of it which say 'Festival 2023' on them.
