Students who experienced these workshops last year said …

Our seminar with David Fisher was really great. I really enjoyed the whole lesson. He seemed very energetic and it looked that he really tried to give us some useful tips and I think it was really helpful to hear it from someone professional. I would definitely repeat his seminar someday. 🙂

 My honest review of the seminar with David Fisher is very positive. I really apreciated his tips and tricks about how to properly and nicely present ourselves in front of people. I learnt new things that I will probably use in future. These kind of tricks and tips will be very useful for my future work interviews. Now I don´t need to worry about being nervous in front of my class when a have a presentation. I really liked how he taught us things differently with very fun activities.

New shows in 2025/26

There are three new shows that you can order this year……

I LOVE MY PHONE – This show was developed last year as a co-operation between theatre director David Fisher and reknowned teacher-trainer Mark Andrews. Now it has been prepared as part of the regular repertoire of the theatre. The show is designed for secondary and older primary students and you can learn more about it here.

MURDER AT WIMBLEDON – This is actually a renewed premiere, back on the repertoire after 6 years. It is an interactive murder mystery set in the famous tennis tournament at Wimbledon. The show is designed for upper primary and lower secondary students and you can learn more about it here.

ALIENS IN LOVE – This show is only half new. It is an adaptation of the show Aliens Save the Planet where the focus is on the nature of love rather than on the environment. The show is designed for middle-primary students (age 10-13) and you can learn more about it here.
