Fortune Theatre Ambassadors

We are delighted to have Ned Ennion-Dickison, Philip Plant, and Joseph Corbett as Fortune Ambassadors for John McGlashan College in 2015. 

Over the year the boys will develop a good understanding of all the different creative processes that go into putting a professional theatre production on its feet and what a career in theatre could look like. 

They will have the opportunity to get inside the rehearsal room to see the rehearsal process in action, talk with the actors, directors and stage managers and interview costume, set, sound and lighting designers. 

The Ambassadors are then responsible for sharing their experiences at the theatre with their fellow students and the wider community by writing reviews, posting photos and videos, talking about the shows on Otago Access Radio and promoting theatre at their schools. We are excited to have the boys with us at the theatre this year.
