PRIMARY PLAY YOUR PART 2024

Supporting primary schools to produce their own shows

Primary Play Your Part is a free programme providing newly commissioned playscripts to state primary schools to use as their festive show. As well as access to the playscripts and online resources, The Old Vic will also work with six London based state primary schools. These selected primary schools will collaborate with Old Vic Facilitators over an eight-week rehearsal period to support with putting on their in-school production.

If you wish to take part in this element of the programme, you must be a state primary school based in London. All interested schools need to complete the following online application form. Deadline for completion is 5pm on Mon 17 June.
