backstage toursThe Queen’s is a producing theatre which means we make and do everything ourselves. You may think that all theatres create their own productions, but some, in fact most, do not - these are called receiving or presenting houses. As a producing theatre, the Artistic Director decides what shows we are going to put on each season (we produce 8 main house shows a year as well as creating work for our foyer space), relevant staff then design the set and costumes, build and paint the set, make the costumes and direct and rehearse the play! The Queen’s Theatre has a permanent company of actor/musicians called cut to the chase..., who are often through-cast each season. This means that the actors will play a great variety of roles in a season. As a producing theatre, there is always a great deal going on behind the scenes, so not give your students or group the opportunity to visit back stage and see how a production is brought to life? We also have a café-bar in the foyer, so you and your group can relax and have a drink or a bite to eat before or after your tour.
