How do you get secondary school pupils interested in the theatre? You show them the ropes. You get enterprising and promote participation, you raise their ambitions and aspirations, and you provide chalk-face creative learning experiences.

This is precisely what the acclaimed Dundee Rep has done through a training and skills development programme called Enterprise @ the Rep, a flagship work experience and creative pathways event for S4-6 students from across the city.
