About Theatretrain Sudbury
Building Confidence & Training The Next Generation Of Performers…
Hi, I'm Emma!
Hi, I’m Emma! I’m the Company Director here at Theatretrain Sudbury, where my job is to ensure your children are enjoying their professional theatre training in a fun and creative way.
Having first discovered Theatretrain as a parent the day Theatretrain Bury St Edmunds first opened in 2002, I became involved in the company early on. In 2004 I became Company Manager, and in 2006 I became Company Director for Bury St Edmunds. In 2009 I opened Theatretrain Sudbury as a new centre. I am also International Event Co-Ordinator for Theatretrain and has organised several performing arts trips to Disneyland Paris and New York City for students from all over the UK. I am passionate about Theatretrain and the opportunities it gives to children from all walks of life. I believe children study performing arts for many different reasons and it is our job to ensure that they achieve their goals whether it be building self-confidence, making new friends or developing skills for a future career in the industry themselves.
