Why Community Theatre?
Our classes are welcoming and accessible — active sessions designed to ensure everyone can participate, whatever their level.
Increase confidence and make connections
Our classes are welcoming and accessible. We help each person to find their inner performer. Our performers grow in confidence through our classes!
Keep fit and learn new skills together
Get moving, learn new dance moves, get your vocal cords moving and most importantly have fun! Our classes are active but designed to ensure everyone can participate.
Keep growing and challenge yourself
Each year we work towards our annual Imagine… show at a theatre in Cambridge. This brings together a cast of over 100 members in a spectacular showcase — a celebration of hard work, achievements and fun.
Enjoy the magic of workshops
Throughout the year we provide a range of workshops offering additional opportunities to try different skills, be creative and perform together.
Three ways to get involved
From weekly classes to the annual showcase and summer workshops — there's always something happening.
Weekly Musical Theatre
Weekly 3-hour sessions throughout the term. Students create and rehearse for end-of-term performances, developing skills in singing, dancing and drama. Sessions run across all three locations.
The Annual Imagine… Show
Each November, all Community Theatre groups come together — a cast of over 100 members — at a prestigious theatre venue in Cambridge. Song, dance, drama and film clips. The highlight of our year.
PopSchool & Workshops
PopSchool is our popular 5-day taster of the pop star lifestyle, returning every summer. We also run a range of other workshops throughout the year as additional opportunities to try new skills.
