West End Stage Summer School returns this August to celebrate its 15th anniversary
West End Stage returns for its 15th anniversary this year, with the ultimate week-long theatre summer school for 8-21 year olds.
After being cancelled last year due to the pandemic, West End Stage are thrilled to be back and bringing young people together through their shared love of performing.
All tutors are West End performers who lead an exciting mix of drama, singing and dance classes, grouped according to age and ability; culminating in the students’ West End debut at the end of the week. There are also masterclasses with industry professionals teaching skills such as stage combat, makeup and acting for television.
Course Principal, Mark Puddle, said: “Following the Government’s announcement that all restrictions are due to be lifted by the end of June, we are delighted to confirm that West End Stage will be back, bigger and better than ever this summer. As a thank you to everyone that books a place on the summer school before Wednesday 31 March, we will be providing a full day of FREE online musical theatre masterclasses this Easter! Since the company was founded, over 14,000 students aged 8 - 21 have attended our summer schools. Throughout the pandemic, we are proud to say West End Stage managed to remain partially open continuing to provide student experiences, engaging content and over 40 free masterclasses via online platforms and virtual rehearsal rooms. But there is nothing like the excitement of the first day of one of our summer schools and I can’t wait to hear the buzz of our students and welcome back our brilliant team of over 60 freelance artists, tutors and chaperones.”
The course will be held at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, one of the world's top drama schools with state-of-the-art studios, theatres and concert halls; and runs from 9 - 15, 16 - 22 and 23 - 29 August 2021, with the option for students to book chaperoned accommodation.
