Continuing our mission of introducing young people to STEM careers in theatre, we're excited to be returning to the Technicians Gallery at London's Science Museum from 7–10 July 2026 as part of the Careers Uncovered programme.

Young people will have the chance to get hands-on with the technology and skills that bring live performance to life, including operating lighting desks, creating sound effects, getting hands on with mechanical props, learning about flying and rigging, using a follow-spot, and exploring stage management through live demonstrations.

Whether you're curious about theatre, technology, engineering, or creative problem-solving, come along and discover the exciting range of careers that make live performance possible 🎭
