A new programme of creative workshops and post-show Q&As has been announced for Clarkston, currently in its final four weeks at Trafalgar Theatre.
The events are presented in partnership with ATG Entertainment West End Creative Learning, and will run until 22 November as part of Creative Careers Month.
Hosted by special guests including Tia Kofi and Mason Alexander Park, the post-show Q&As will offer audiences a chance to hear directly from the cast of Clarkston, with more guest hosts to be announced.
Workshops will be led by members of the Clarkston creative team and are designed for education and community groups. Topics include the role of associates and understudies, stage and company management, and interpreting and directing scenes.
Conor Hunt, Senior Creative Learning Manager at ATG Entertainment said:
“We’re absolutely thrilled to be partnering with the producers of Clarkston to bring this dynamic outreach offer to life here in the West End. This collaboration allows us to open the doors wider than ever – to students, community organisations, and anyone curious about exploring new and meaningful ways to engage with the show and its incredible creatives. It’s about breaking down barriers to theatre and creating space for conversation, learning, and connection.”
Producers of Clarkston added:
“At its heart, Clarkston is about connection—finding meaning and community in unexpected places. These workshops are an extension of that spirit. We’re thrilled to open the doors of the Trafalgar to the next generation of theatre-makers and to help demystify how a show like this comes to life.”
