Musical theatre summer school

Sheffield Theatres has introduced a brand new intense one-week course, for young performers interested in a career in musical theatre.

The course, which will kick off this summer and is aimed at performers aged between 14 and 20, is an opportunity for talented youngsters to learn tips and tricks of the trade from West End performers, who will lead master classes in dance, drama and singing. Participants will also learn about choreography, staging and audition techniques. The summer school will conclude with a showcase at the end of the week on the Crucible Stage. The course costs £270 and those wishing to take part must audition. Visit www.sheffieldtheatres.co.uk/get-involved/summer-school to apply for an audition, on Saturday May 7.
