Our theatre classes take place at Royal Kent School, Oakshade Rd, Oxshott Surrey KT22 0LE where our students come together every Saturday morning in Term time to connect, learn and create in a safe and inspiring environment. Through the performing arts, we give children and young adults the tools they need, not just to reach their potential on stage, but also to thrive at school and lay the foundations for their future.
About
Theatretrain Oxshott
We are part of a large network of Theatretrain performing arts Centres across the UK, which means we can tap into the network and connect with leading experts in the performing arts industry.
Suki and Graham opened the Theatretrain Oxshott Centre in 2018 and have already created a wide range of exciting theatre events, productions, holiday camps and workshops. Highlights have recently included: The Little Mermaid at Esher Theatre, and The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe at Leatherhead Theatre, plus local performances and displays at school fetes and in Leatherhead town centre. We also took part in the Theatretrain national show in the Albert Hall in 2019!
Theatretrain Oxshott is run by Centre Directors Suki Turner and Graham Pountney. Suki’s background includes being a Dancer, Actress and for many years Head of Drama at Danes Hill School, Oxshott. Graham is a working Actor, Director and Producer. We are supported by three great teachers in the areas of Acting, Dance and Singing!
