Musical Theatre
Following the recent successful Musical Theatre days, we are continuing to expand our Musical Theatre offering with a whole weekend in 2025! Competitive and non-competitive classes and workshops open to all ages and abilities will take place on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd March 2025 at Bishop Perowne CE College. Daniel Donaldson-Todd will be adjudicating and we will once again have workshops from West End performers.
All large and small group entries are FREE and all solos, duets, trios and quartet entries have 25% off the entry fees if completed by 1st December 2024.
Whether you prefer a solo, duet, trio, quartet or larger group number, the Musical Theatre day has something for everyone! With both competitive and non-competitive opportunities to perform and workshops combining singing, acting and movement for all ages and abilities (including adults!), this day promises to be a joyous celebration of the abundance of local musical theatre talent. Whether you are a keen beginner or an experienced 'triple threat', we would love to see and hear you perform!
The above link to the syllabus is where you can find all the information you will need about the musical theate day. However, this is only musical theatre sections. If you want to find out more about other opportunities in music, drama, poetry, prose or original work, the full festival syllabus can be found here.
