About Theatretrain Letchworth
Building Confidence & Training The Next Generation Of Performers…
Hi, I'm Geraldine!
Hi, I’m Geraldine! I’m the Company Director here at Theatretrain Letchworth along with my husband Robert. Our job is to ensure your children are enjoying their professional theatre training in a fun and creative way. I started my theatre journey when I received a BA (Hons) in Popular Music and Technology, where I specialised in singing.
I wanted to spread the incredible magic of music, so I taught music with Theatretrain for more than 5 years. In 2009, I became Company Director of Theatretrain Camden, before I took over Theatretrain Hitchin in 2016. In 2018 I also opened Theatretrain Stevenage, and in that time, I’ve led our students in seven local shows and six large-scale shows.
