Education
NTofP is committed to producing work and opportunities for young people, with a minimum of 25% of our work being delivered in this area.
We provide students and teachers access to performances through dedicated programs. We also provide education packs to accompany our performances.
Back Stage Pass
This program is an opportunity for students to engage with theatre-making at National Theatre of Parramatta. As a package of activities, Backstage Pass enables students to gain a deeper understanding of the theatre-making process from rehearsal through to post-production.
