What can my students do at Capital E?

Along with regular events, workshops and theatre productions, Capital E provides curriculum-linked programmes for children aged 3 to 17 years. All school programmes are supported by teacher resource materials for use in the classroom before and after your Capital E experience.

The OnTV Studio and the SoundHouse programmes are suitable for Year 3+ and are led by experienced teachers. You can book in for a whole day or come over two days to experience these.
