School Productions: From Page to Stage will run from 5pm to 7pm each day and will include sessions from expert speakers on everything from choosing and licensing appropriate shows, producing a play during the pandemic, and scheduling rehearsals into a busy school timetable. 

Sessions will also cover cost-effective scenery and costumes, lighting on a budget, how to empower students in backstage roles, sound design, ticket sales and promotion, and filming shows for exam board moderation. 

Speakers and workshop leaders include, among others, Tamara von Werthern (performing rights manager at Nick Hern Books), Andy Johnson (teacher and writer at The Excellent Audition Guide), Alex Thomas (head of Drama at Magdalen College School, Oxford), Hilary Statts (Theatre designer at Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama), and Mig Walsh (lighting technician and lighting tutor at Guildford School of Acting).  

Each day there will also be an exhibitor slot in which delegates will be introduced to products and services to enhance your work and make productions as stress-free as possible. 

The fee to attend the online conference is £99 + VAT per person, which provides access to the 4-day live stream, live Q&A with presenters, opportunities to network with exhibitors and view products and services, and on-demand access to all sessions for up to three months after the event. 

Bookings are now open. For more information and to book, visit www.schoolproductions.co.uk
