Find Your Spotlight in Musical Theatre!

 

If you’ve always wanted to step into the world of musical theatre, this is your moment. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or someone who’s always watched from the audience with dreams of taking the stage, this adult class is designed just for you.

It’s a space to embrace your love for musical theatre and grow—no matter where you’re starting from.

Every week, you’ll sing, dance, and act in a supportive, welcoming environment. This isn’t about perfection; it’s about feeling the joy of performing, discovering your own potential, and building genuine connections with people who love musical theatre as much as you do.

You’ll develop real, practical skills that build confidence while experiencing the incredible sense of family that comes from sharing the stage together.

Guided by Scot and guest tutors, you’ll dive into each aspect of performance, and learn how to put it all together in a way that’s not just about technique, but about expressing who you are. Come and be part of something special—join in, connect, and take your place in the spotlight.
