SUMMER SCHOOL
This year's summer school has been extremely popular, with 50 students take part over the two weeks. Our show, Bugsy Malone, proved a very popular choice with the students and we advise all parents to duck the custard pies and splurge guns at our performance on the last night.

PINAFORE PIRATES Rehearsals will be held for the majority of intermediate, senior and some Year 6 students on Sunday afternoons from Sunday 12th September to the performance week. A detailed list of rehearsal dates/ call times will be issued on the first week back.

We have been helping children and young adults to improve their performance skills and love of theatre, drama and music for over 15 years. Qualified teachers encourage the development of talent, the building of confidence and self reliance, and the appreciation of teamwork within a structured and friendly environment.

Students have come from over 40 schools and colleges within the area and Drama Club works with schools to enhance performances in preparation for GCSE, AS and A level exams

Our lessons provide an opportunity to develop performing skills, to take QCA accredited examinations, to prepare for auditions for University, Drama School, and Scholarships at 11, 13 and 6th form - as well as auditions for the National Youth Theatre, West End productions, television and film roles.

Our weekly meetings are supplemented by the chance to take part in a variety of activities and workshops all structured to enhance the love of acting and singing, giving students the opportunity to explore mediums that they might not otherwise experience.

Charity Concert at David Salomons House: On Sunday 6th June our choir appeared alongside a number of professional actors and acresses from the Green Room Theatre Company in Images of the Theatre at David Salomans House to raise money for Save the Children. The choir sang several numbers and readings were performed by Matthew Martin and Jamie Wiiliams.
