Whether you're already considering a role in these fields or simply curious about the world of production, 'Reboot: Behind the Scenes, Screen and Lens' is for you.

Petok Productions aims to diversify the production industry and pave the way for under-represented communities to build careers in backstage roles. This programme is therefore offered exclusively to people who identify as women, trans and non-binary.

Kicking off on Wednesday 8th February: Introduction to Running Wardrobe in Theatre with Frances Williams francesldn
