our work
stage concept
Cloud Theatre, stage design, and technical equipment such as lighting, speakers, and microphones are 100% mobile and portable. That on the one hand allows us to travel easily and set up our stage within only one hour.
Furthermore, the mobility of the staging gives us the chance to change our scenery four times within a single play.
What we need from you is simple: electricity and cool kids.
We do the rest!
learning support
As a preparation before and a profound addition after the shows, we also provide seasonal workbooks for the students to make them practice a specific English vocabulary and grammar suitable to the play performed.
contents of our play
The seasonal plays are either referring to historical facts, stories, and people, such as Leonardo DaVinci & Romeo and Juliet or are completely fictionally written by one of our native scriptwriters.
The plays are 50 mins longs and usually include three catchy, ingoing songs, which the actors perform on stage.
in conversatation
After the theatre performances, we usually offer a 20-30 mins Q&A panel, in order to create an open exchange with actors and students. Our directors, scriptwriters, and actors/ actresses exclusively speak native English and address the students according to their language levels.

Advantages of English theatre in education when learning a language.
1) English Theatre increases student’s interest in learning English. so he or she can discover that the language is also useful outside the classroom.
2) It challenges the student to understand English spoken by someone other than his or her teacher, thus improving the student’s listening comprehension.
3) In the days prior to and following the play. the students are highly motivated.
4) Teachers can use the written and audio resources provided to take advantage of this motivation.
