This afternoon our wonderful Stage Explorers perform their end of term show 'Destination Drama'.

Our audience will be given boarding passes, questionable service from questionable airport staff and find themselves on an airplane which has to make an emergency landing on a desert island!

Who will they encounter once there? Watch this SPACe!

Make Ancient Greece Great Again! 🏛️
​
Our Stage Explorers performed this term's show brilliantly this evening!
​Our audience had lots of fun during this immersive, promenade-style theatre experience. The night commenced with a tour of Mount Olympus led by Zeus, who introduced a number of Greek gods coming to life one by one. We even had pitta bread and houmous snacks waiting for everyone as they arrived at the Delphi Oracle!

​These photos show our famous Strictly judge, Noel, with Bake Off judges Apaullo Apollowood and Pru-metheus; Poseidon showing us the power of the sea; Claudia with one of the potential Traitors; and Hercules flexing his muscles! 💪

​Next term’s theme is 'Destination Drama'. ✈️ So pack your suitcases and remember to bring your passports!

​If your child is interested in acting, please DM us or comment below to book a free trial session for next term.

Nobody is talking about Ancient Greece anymore - no-one knows their Apollo from their Poseidon! The Oracle at Delphi decide that the Greek Gods need to 'Make Ancient Greece Great Again'. Next week our Stage Explorer actors will show us what happens when Greek Gods meet Reality TV! Will Hercules complete the 12 trials in 'I'm an Ancient Greek, Get Me Out of Here'? How will Apollo fare on 'Strictly Come Dancing'? And will Artemis and Ariadne win the final leg of 'Race Across Ancient Greece'? Here are just 3 of our props ready for our dress rehearsal tonight... can you guess who they could belong to...

If you have a child who loves acting and creating characters and scenes, please comment below or DM us for a free trial at our weekly Stage Explorers Drama Club where we devise, create and make theatre culminating in a show at the end of each term 🎭
