Hello from the New Wolsey Theatre!
Welcome back! As we hurtle towards the end of the academic year and into the summer sun, we wanted to let you know about some brilliant autumn term opportunities that you might like to book soon!
Opportunities to Get Involved
One Man Two Guvnors
Booked this show? Workshops are available
Meet The Creatives
Throughout the academic year there are opportunities for your students to meet leading industry creatives who are connected to our productions. This really is not to be missed!
One Man Two Guvnors: Physical Comedy and Clowning with Ian Nicholson
Meet Physical Comedy Director Ian Nicholson to discover his role in creating the laughs in our production of One Man Two Guvnors. Your students will get to explore physical comedy and clowning; find their funny sides and discovering the playful, silly and ridiculous in performance and in themselves. A wonderful opportunity to laugh, look at why we laugh and do more of it – all in connection with text from the show.
There are matinee and evening shows on this day to enable your students to connect the dots between the process and the finished product.
Ian Nicholson trained as a clown at École Philippe Gaulier, and as a director at the National Theatre studio. He has worked with the National Theatre, Nuffield Southampton Theatres, Birmingham Rep, Royal and Derngate Northampton and The Unicorn Theatre among others.

Have your say!
Fancy a cuppa and a biscuit with us to tell us what you think? We’re constantly looking to make sure that our offer to schools is up to date, relevant, and most importantly that we’re able to give your students inspiring experiences that build their skills, creativity and may even inform their future life choices.
Over the next couple of months, we’re meeting teachers from across Suffolk to find out what you need for your students. There may be opportunities around life skills, aspiration, employability, wellbeing, developing creativity and of course making theatre. It’s up to you to tell us what you want…so get in touch now!
We can come to you or you’re welcome to meet us here (we have good coffee!).
