Teacher Previews
We offer teachers an opportunity to attend National Theatre productions at a discounted rate. There are a limited number of teacher’s tickets available for selected productions, so we employ a ballot process for ticket allocation. Complimentary programmes are also available at selected performances. If you have any questions, or if you would like to be added to the Teacher Previews mailing list, please contact Andrew Pritchard, Secondary & FE Programme Coordinator, quoting ‘Teacher Previews Mailing List’ in the subject line: apritchard@nationaltheatre.org.uk
NT Archive Teacher Placement
A unique opportunity for secondary teachers to undertake a short placement and develop, with NT Learning, new ways of opening up the National Theatre's history and heritage to school groups. Teachers will have access to paper-based and audio collections, the film archive, and a wealth of NT Archive content. Supported by the National Lottery through the Heritage Lottery Fund.
