Our theatre school offers a full theatre experience for all ages. Working in a professional training centre for the performing arts, we have the advantage of an in-house theatre (the auditorium can seat up to 200 people) which allows students to gain practical stage expertise through regular performances in every discipline we offer.
Oliver! Performed at our venue with full orchestra
In our own theatre space we have performed the full length musicals: Bugsy Malone, Oliver! and Calamity Jane. As well as frequent drama evenings, past full length plays have included Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl, The Diary of Anne-Frank and Hard to Swallow by Mark Wheeler, a study of anorexia nervosa. The drama and dance department performed Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare in February 2010.
Outside our venue, the school staged the musical Mack and Mabelat Lowther Pavillion Lytham St Annes and has regularly taken part in the Hits at the Opera House in Blackpool.
