Theatretrain Heathridge’s First Summer School

Theatretrain Heathridge, our first Australian Theatretrain Centre held their first Summer school last week.

They workshopped 5 Musicals over 5 days including ‘Mary Poppins’, ‘Mamma Mia’, ‘Lion King’, ‘Hairspray’ and ‘Wizard Of Oz’.

Not only did they learn songs and dances from the shows they did lots of prop making for their performance pieces.

Here are a few photos from their amazing week.
