Yes, all of our shows include acting, singing and dance.

We stage three major productions each year, one in the spring term, one in the summer term and another in the autumn term. In addition, we run workshops during the Easter, summer and October holidays.

Most of our term-time productions take place at Hampton Hill Theatre.

Our costume designer will source and make costumes, however we will ask you to provide a base-layer. This is likely to be items such as black shoes, tights, T-shirts, white shirt etc. Sometimes children have additional items which they like to suggest for their character. This is always welcome and we are very grateful for any additional costume pieces which can be borrowed for a show. You may be asked to complete a short on-line form to submit your child’s measurements for our designer.

Yes, our three major productions each year are run by a full professional stage crew, including a lighting designer, set designer, sound technician, costume designer and stage manager. We provide children with a professional experience, working in excellent venues with the latest lighting and sound equipment.

Term time productions run over a two and a half month period. This can vary depending on when school holidays fall and when the theatre is available.

Holiday workshop productions and showcases are rehearsed for 2-5 days.

8-12 year olds taking part in our term time productions rehearse once a week for 2.5hours. In addition, we hold two or three Sunday/evening rehearsals in the lead up to the production at Hampton Hill Theatre, plus technical and dress rehearsals during production week.

5-7 year olds taking part in our term-time Mini Musicals classes rehearse once a week for 90 minutes. At the end of term, children rehearse and perform on stage at Hampton Hill Theatre.

Our casts rehearse and holiday workshops run at venues in Twickenham, Teddington, Hampton Hill and Walton on Thames.

Yes, our casts who rehearse after school break for one week and those who rehearse on a Saturday usually break the weekend before and after half term. (This time is made up with additional rehearsals).

We cast the show after 2 weeks of workshop auditions and always prior to the half term break, giving children the week off to start working on their lines.

We cast the show based on the pool of actors who have committed to the production. Every child is fully involved in the show from start to finish and all children will be acting, singing and dancing..

There is no annual membership fee to join the company, and you are only required to pay the production fee when you sign your child up to a particular production. The production fee is always clearly stated on the production page and on all booking communications.

Tickets are available on a first come first served basis and can be purchased from our website. There is no limit and we will always book venues which we believe have an appropriately sized auditorium to ensure no one misses out.
