Boy on the Roof workshops

We're really looking forward to welcoming you to a performance of Boy on the Roof. Once you've booked, it gives you access to some great extra resources (available from early Feb) - an Education Pack, digital programme, video clips - and from mid-March to June 2024 you can access a film of the full performance for free.

Before or after seeing the show, why not take part in one of our show-related workshops? Our Boy on the Roof workshops give students a real understanding of the performance, its themes, and how to create and devise theatre for themselves.
