How Theatretrain Compares to Other Performing Arts Schools in Stevenage, Hitchin and Letchworth

Looking for performing arts classes for your child in Stevenage? With so many options, dance schools, drama clubs, weekend workshops, it can be hard to know which one is right for your child.At Theatretrain Stevenage Hitchin and Letchworth, we do things a little differently. And that’s exactly why so many local families choose us.Whether your child is already a budding performer or just looking for a fun, confidence-building activity, here’s what makes Theatretrain stand out from the crowd.

We don’t just teach singing, dancing, and acting, we help children grow in confidence, make friends, and develop skills that last a lifetime. Whether your child is a natural performer or just wants to try something new, we’re here to support, encourage, and inspire them every step of the way.

1. Professional Training in Singing, Dancing and Acting, All in One Place

Many children’s theatre schools focus on one thing, maybe a bit of singing, or just drama. At Theatretrain, every Saturday includes an hour of singing, an hour of dance, and an hour of acting.

Our teachers are all experienced industry professionals who know how to inspire, challenge, and support each child, whether they’ve been on stage before or are just finding their voice.

🎤 “My daughter has been attending the Hitchin group for a year, she loves being able to do dancing, acting and singing as part of a single group – and having her occupied for 3 hours on a Saturday is also very handy! The recent show was incredible, with all the children encouraged to shine.” Google review 

2. Confidence That Goes Beyond the Stage

Yes, we love musicals and big performances. But what really matters to us is what our students take home. Confidence. Teamwork. Resilience. Creativity.

At Theatretrain Stevenage Hitchin and Letchworth, it’s not about who gets the lead role. It’s about making sure every child gets their moment to shine, feels proud of themselves, and walks a little taller after each session.

🧠 Research shows that performing arts can significantly boost a child’s communication and self-esteem. We see it happen every week.

3. Big Stages, Big Memories

Our students perform on professional stages like the Royal Albert Hall, the West End, and regional theatres.

These shows are full-scale productions where your child is part of something unforgettable. And they’ll remember it for the rest of their lives.

🎭 “Amazing place to build your child’s confidence. My daughter started out very shy, she did not perform in front of anyone, but now she has performed on stage with Theatretrain! ” – Google Review

4. A Supportive Community Where Everyone Belongs

We are a community, a family. Children make genuine friendships here, and many stay with us from the age of 6 all the way through to 18.

New starters are welcomed with open arms, and we work hard to create a space where every child feels safe, supported, and excited to come back each week.
