TERM 3 ON SALE
Welcome to the TP Academy. We are a flagship cultural venue and a pioneering Learning Theatre, where inspirational artists meet aspirational young people. We are home to world class creative learning and performance, with, by and for young people, providing a talent pipeline into the creative industries.
We’re so excited to invite you to join Term 3 and the safety of our students, parents, members of the community and TP staff are paramount to us. We are hopeful we will be able to deliver these sessions in person at Theatre Peckham. Please see the measures we’re taking to ensure our Theatre is a safe space at the bottom of this page.
Please see below our new exciting programme and all the new features we have introduced to make our student’s experience an amazing, safe and enjoyable one! Only members of Theatre Peckham will have access to book.
