Discover Programme 

Discover is the National Theatre's programme of education and public engagement, opening up the theatre and its repertoire, skills, resources and artistry, to people of all ages.

Through a wide range of participatory projects and online resources, Discover provides opportunities to explore all aspects of theatre performance and production, and develop creative, critical and practical skills.

Discover activities take place at the National Theatre, in our dedicated John Lyon's Education Studio at the NT Studio, and in schools and with partner theatres and organisations across London and the UK.

National Theatre Connections

Connections is a partnership between 200 youth theatre companies, partner theatres across the UK and the National Theatre.

Since the beginning of the project, the National has developed a portfolio of over 100 plays for young performers from some of the best writers around..
