Why bring your students to live theatre?
For many children, a visit to Chickenshed is their first experience of live theatre - an unforgettable moment where stories, characters, and ideas come vividly to life. Watching theatre unfold in real time helps children connect with storytelling, imagination, and empathy in a way that no screen can match.
A trip to RED enriches learning across the English and Drama curriculum, supporting:
- Understanding of narrative, character, and theme
- Creative expression through performance and interpretation
- Speaking, listening, and collaboration skills
- Cultural awareness and a love of live storytelling
Beyond the curriculum, it’s a joyful and thought-provoking shared experience - one that can spark imagination, boost confidence, and inspire creativity in the run-up to Christmas.
