Most West End shows produce learning packs and resources for children built around their show. These packs assist teachers in guiding children’s learning around key themes within the musical or play.

But it’s not only teachers who can make use of these useful publications. The education packs are readily available, and prove an excellent resource for parents, allowing a family trip to the theatre to live beyond the performance and become an interesting way for children to learn.

Activities within the packs are usually based on the characters, themes, music, history, story or original source material of the show. When combined with a visit to the theatre, the packs will help to captivate children’s imaginations and provide an inspiring learning experience.

The education packs are often linked to curriculum requirements, helping to engage pupils and act as a catalyst to learning.

Most of the large-scale producing houses in London, such as the National Theatre, the Royal Court and Shakespeare’s Globe, also produce a wealth of education information.

We’ve brought together a range of resources for teachers and parents built around key West End shows and venues.
