About our Summer/Easter Schools
Each year, our Easter and Summer Schools offer an exciting range of holiday workshops designed for young performers aged 4-18. With a variety of immersive, themed experiences, students can explore new skills, build confidence, and have fun in a welcoming and inclusive environment.
Workshops change each year, but past favourites have included:
🎭 Play in a Week – where students rehearse and perform a full production in just four days!
🎬 Acting for Camera – exploring on-screen acting techniques and working on filmed scenes.
🎶 Musical Theatre Intensives – themed around hit musicals like Six, or inspired by beloved stories like The Worst Witch.
Most workshops culminate in a performance for friends and family, giving students the chance to showcase their creativity and hard work in our Bath Street Studio Theatre. Sessions are led by a mix of regular and guest tutors, offering a high-quality experience while remaining at a low price point to ensure accessibility.
With two-day and four-day options available, our holiday schools are the perfect opportunity for young performers to learn, grow, and have an unforgettable experience - whether they’re trying something new or taking their skills to the next level.
