Young people in Northumberland are being invited to explore careers in theatre.
Novo Theatre has been delivering assemblies and workshops across the region as part of 'Discover! Creative Careers Month', a national programme which encourages 11 to 18-year-olds to explore careers in the creative industries.
Louise Taylor-Asheg, participation producer at Novo Theatre, said: "It's important that young people in Northumberland see first-hand that it is possible to pursue a career in theatre in the North East, and that you don’t necessarily need to be on stage to do that.
"I hope the young people we’ve engaged with this month will take with them the knowledge that creating theatre involves many people with a diverse range of skills, working on stage and off."
Through various sessions, students learned about the range of roles available in theatre, from technical and creative to finance and communications.
Mary Rose, programme lead for Discover! Creative Careers, said: "Employers like Novo Theatre play a vital role in helping young people understand what it’s really like to work in the creative industries.
"By opening their doors and sharing their expertise, they’re inspiring the next generation and helping to build a stronger, more inclusive future workforce across the UK."
