Student Opportunities:

Student Reviewers
Students have the opportunity to review Warwick Arts Centre shows. Reviewers receive a free ticket if you can provide Warwick Arts Centre with a 500-word review within 48 hours of watching the show. Please email j.branson@warwick.ac.uk if you are a student of CLL and interested in taking part. There will also be an opportunity to review these shows on a 'Family Ticket' basis (usually 2 adults x 2 children). Due to the limited availability of these, students who express interest will need to submit their name to Student Engagement Coordinator, Lauren Elmore (l.k.elmore@warwick.ac.uk) and a submission will be chosen from a draw.
