HAMPSHIRE teenagers with hopes of a career in theatre or music will get the chance to go behind the scenes of their dream jobs.

Artswork is joining forces with The Mayflower theatre, Southampton, to present Creative Choices, a free careers event for those seeking a future in the creative industry.

Hosted at The Mayflower, the two sessions will give young people an insight from professionals working at local theatres and radio stations.

From stage management to costume design, marketing and radio production, all areas will be covered, with advice on how best to develop the skills needed for those careers.

The event will take place on March 26 and is open to 13 to 16-year-olds, who will each receive a Creative Careers pack.

There will be one session starting at 9.30am and another from 12.15pm until 2.45pm.

Places are free but should be reserved. Individual young people keen to attend can call Hannah at Artswork on 023 8033 2491, while school and group bookings can be done by emailing Jay-Michelle at jaymichelle@mail.com.
