Our flexible payment plans
We want to make professional theatre training accessible to everyone, which is why we offer a monthly subscription option for both of our session types. Direct Debit means you can spread the total cost without fuss – and without needing to track term dates or one-off invoices.
What’s included?
In every session, your children will learn the fundamentals of performing arts in an active, alive atmosphere. We cover the most important aspects of theatre training – dance, acting and singing. Our highly qualified and experienced creative team guide our students through a programme designed by credited theatre expert, playwright and author, Kevin Dowsett.
Unlike traditional performing arts schools, we don’t focus on preparing students for exams and competitions, although you will have the opportunity to participate in these if you wish. We teach young people how to adopt the mindset of a theatre performer and to develop as an ensemble as well as be part of an ensemble.
