Get Into Theatre is the essential website to help you find all the information and opportunities you need to pursue a successful career in theatre in the UK. From backstage to performing, training to apprenticeships, you will find up-to-date theatre jobs information and advice. 

We believe that all young people - no matter who you are - should have the same chance to have a career in theatre. Many people do not know about all the job options in theatre or the different ways to make a start in a theatre career. That needs to change. We believe you should have easy access to current information on:

• Training and studying
• Funding, scholarships and awards
• Experiences that will help you
• Theatre job profiles to inform you

We are passionate about you hearing from other people that are like you and are working in theatre. But mostly, Get Into Theatre wants everyone to know about how to get a career in theatre no matter your background, ethnicity, impairment, condition or gender. Whoever you are, there are lots of things happening in the UK that can help you get into theatre. We believe you should know about it.
