A Bold Call to Action – Transforming Lives Through Theatre

Kevin Dowsett, Theatretrain's Artistic Director, has just released an exciting new blog – and it's one you don’t want to miss! For the first time ever, we're offering a free franchise to individuals passionate about transforming young lives through theatre. No hidden costs, just a real opportunity to make a difference.

This week, we’re making history. For the first time in our 32-year journey, we’re offering something truly extraordinary – a free franchise! No hidden agendas, no tricks, and no scams – just a genuine opportunity to join a movement that changes lives. You might be thinking, “What’s the catch?” But there isn’t one. This offer comes from a passionate belief in the impact we can have on children and young people.

Over the years, we’ve stepped up our game. We’ve strengthened our back office, expanded our creative support, and proudly earned our place as the number one provider of part-time performing arts training in the country. It’s a bold claim, but we back it up with real results.

But this isn’t just about numbers or accolades. It’s about the lives we’ve reached, and the students we’ve empowered. Our programme is delivered by highly skilled creatives who embody the Theatretrain Way, sharing knowledge and collaborating in our annual conferences. We have a vision to create a genuine difference in this world, for young people. In a society that often overlooks them, young people deserve a space where they can feel safe, seen, and celebrated. A place for their dreams to take flight and their voices heard. A place where they learn skills that will shape their future but also in the here and now step onto a stage and shine.

Take Stacey, for example. A once-shy, withdrawn student who barely spoke a word. Today, she’s confident and happy, standing tall and proud. Her story isn’t rare – it’s at the heart of what we do. That’s the reason we put energy into this work, and why our Trustpilot reviews show such gratitude and praise. And now, in partnership with The Stage Newspaper, we’re inviting others to be a part of this journey.

Who Are We Looking For?

Do you know someone with the heart, the drive, and the vision to inspire the next generation? Someone ready to make a real difference? If so, pass this on. This might just be the chance they’ve been waiting for.

Theatretrain, a nationwide provider of weekend theatre schools for young people aged 4-18, specialises in weekly classes in acting, singing, and dancing. An emphasis is placed on learning valuable life skills such as confidence, empathy, courage, and resilience. If you know a child who loves to dance, act and sing or could do with a little confidence boost why not visit to find out what our performing arts classes can offer your child at one of our 80 locations across the UK.

Together We’re Unshakeable

In this week’s blog, Theatretrain Artistic Director Kevin Dowsett explores what it really means to become “unshakeable together”. It is not about never feeling nervous, disappointed or unsure, but learning how to recover, keep going and support one another along the way. Through performance, teamwork and shared challenges, young people discover that resilience grows when we face difficult moments together — and that asking for help is a strength, not a weakness.
