Corkscrew intern programme

Every now and then we meet an incredibly talented young performer or crew member and want to support them and offer them some opportunites that they otherwise might not come across.

We’ are lucky enought ot have worked with many great practitioners in acting, music and backstage. So to share this with the next generation of theatre lovers and makers, we started the Corkscrew Intern Programme.

“Corkscrew is full of the most talented and lovely people. We just want to share this with the next generation.”

LesleyCreative Director, Corkscrew
