Live Nation Stage Experience
As part of their Education and Outreach scheme, the Sunderland Empire in conjunction with Live Nation Stage Experience presented a production of Thoroughly Modern Millie in August 2006. Live Nation Stage Experience is an opportunity for 9- to 25-year-olds to star in a professionally produced show. Over 140 young people attended the summer school, and managed to present the show from scratch in under two weeks.
Due to the success of this project, another Stage Experience, We Will Rock You, was produced in August 2007, and in August 2008, a production of West Side Story was presented, with the cast and crew complement expanded to 170 young people, with many of the cast and crew returning from the previous Stage Experience projects.
