First five schools to book get a free workshop!
As a special additional offer for schools booking tickets for this year’s production, The Met are offering a limited run of Pantomime themed drama workshops for class groups. We have five of these half-day workshops to give to schools who are coming to see the show this year. The sessions will be most suitable for a Key Stage Two age group but can be adapted if needed and will also be available for SEND groups.
The workshop will enable children to explore classic pantomime characters, learn about the structure of a pantomime and experiment with some scripts work.
