Jackdaws Summer Production

Held each summer at Jackdaws

A week long performance project for children aged 10 to 17 years

The Summer Production is a fun, stimulating and exciting way for children aged 10 years and over to spend a week in the summer holidays discovering how to create a show from scratch.

Summer 2023 dates will be Monday 31 July – Friday 4 August 2023. You’re welcome to send us a note of interest, with confirmation & payment due after Easter.

Jackdaws Summer Production is open to all, with no experience required – just bring enthusiasm and energy!

Assisted by the production team, the group will create their show over the course of the week and perform it live to an audience on the Friday afternoon.

The Production Team is led by Artistic Director Saffron, alongside a designer, Sarah Lawton, and a composer, William Carslake, who will help the children to create an original production from concept to performance for an audience of family and friends.

The week begins with a choice of three stories, three composers and three design themes. The children must consider the options before voting for those they think will make the best combination of music, plot and staging… and then the work begins!

Monday to Friday week long project

The Summer Production takes place at Jackdaws, from 9.30am – 4.30pm each day.

Friday ends with the performance at 5pm.
