INFORMATION

A fantastic introduction to the wonderful world of musicals! We encourage everyone to be themselves and express their creativity in a fun, safe and supportive environment as they grow as both young performers and as individuals. As well as taking their first steps on stage, our young company also learn important skills in communication, commitment and working together as they make new friends, becoming part of a group who all love to perform and where every person plays a vital role in the show’s success.

Our sessions run weekly (term-time) at The Nutshell, Winchester; a rehearsal schedule will be emailed at the start of each term. We perform one musical in the summer and rehearse for the full academic year.

There are two cohorts each year and they rehearse on Mondays (4-5pm) or Saturdays (10-11am).
