Stephen Crocker, chief executive and creative director of Norwich Theatre, uses the upcoming production of Legally Blonde The Musical to reflect on results season and the danger of allowing grades or stereotypes to define young people’s futures. He highlights a new partnership between Norwich Theatre and City College Norwich that aims to develop creative and front-of-house skills, provide practical industry experience and strengthen routes into employment across Norfolk’s creative economy. The central message is that aspiration depends not only on individual ambition but also on access to opportunities that help young people imagine and pursue different futures.
