We are absolutely delighted to see our Theatretrain Maidstone Company Director, Olivia, recognised with the Theatretrain Duracell Bunny Award 2026! 🥳👏🏻

Olivia gives lots of energy, passion and dedication to everything she does, always looking for new ideas, opportunities and experiences to inspire and empower our incredible students 🤩😍

Olivia is incredibly grateful for the support of her family and friends, and for her outstanding team who work so hard behind the scenes to bring ideas to life and make so many opportunities possible for our students 💙🙏🏻

She is also incredibly thankful for all of our wonderful TT families, whose support means so much, and of course for the incredible students she has the privilege of working with. They are at the heart of everything we do 🥰❤️

A very special award and we couldn’t be prouder! 🏆

🏆 DURACELL BUNNY AWARD 2026 🏆

A huge congratulations to Olivia “Liv” Ealham – Theatretrain Ashford & Maidstone, winner of this year’s Duracell Bunny Award! 💙💛

This award recognises Liv’s seemingly endless energy, enthusiasm and commitment across not one, but two Theatretrain territories.

Liv is quite literally always doing something! Whether she’s running classes, organising opportunities for her pupils or getting out and about in the local community, her energy never seems to run out.

Her passion for giving young people as many experiences and opportunities as possible really shines through in everything she does.

We’re not entirely sure where she gets the energy from… but we’d quite like some of it! 😂🐰⚡

A very well-deserved award. Congratulations, Liv! 🏆💙💛

No great performance is created by one person alone.

Children learn to listen.

To communicate.

To encourage one another.

And to understand that everybody has an important part to play.

At Theatretrain, teamwork is built into every class, rehearsal and performance.

Young people discover how much more they can achieve when they support each other and work towards a shared goal.

Those skills matter on stage — and everywhere else too. 🤝✨

A new term. A new challenge. A place to belong.

Theatretrain is now enrolling for September, with classes in acting, singing and dancing for children and young people.

Whether your child already loves performing or is just beginning to find their voice, Theatretrain gives them the space and encouragement to grow.

September places are available now 🎭✨

Why the Rehearsal Room Is Where Confidence Really Begins

Confidence does not always begin with applause. Sometimes, it begins in the rehearsal room. 🎭✨

In our latest blog, we explore how acting, singing and dancing help children grow in confidence, resilience and self-belief — one rehearsal at a time.

Today, the world has lost a true icon 🤍

We are incredibly saddened to hear of the passing of the legendary Dolly Parton, aged 80.

Dolly’s extraordinary career touched generations through music, storytelling and performance. From Jolene and 9 to 5 to I Will Always Love You, her songs have been sung, performed and loved on stages around the world.

For those of us in the performing arts, Dolly was a wonderful reminder of the power of creativity, to tell stories, bring people together and leave a lasting impact.

Her music may have fallen silent, but her legacy certainly never will ✨

Rest in peace, Dolly. Thank you for the music 🤍🎶

Nerves are normal — but learning how to manage them is powerful. 🎭💪

At Theatretrain, young people are supported to step outside their comfort zone in a positive, encouraging environment.

Over time, students learn how to handle nerves, perform under pressure and feel proud of what they achieve.

That confidence doesn’t stay on stage. It follows them into everyday life.

Success is not about getting everything right the first time. It is about showing up, trying again and believing that you can keep moving forward — even when something feels difficult.

At Theatretrain, children and young people learn that mistakes are part of growing. Whether it is mastering a dance routine, remembering a line or finding the confidence to step onto the stage, every small step matters. 🌟

Today, we celebrate determination, resilience and the courage to keep going.

Keep dreaming. Keep trying. Never give up. 💙

Confidence does not always begin with standing centre stage.

Sometimes it starts with joining in.

Trying something new.

Speaking a little louder.

Or sharing an idea with the group.

At Theatretrain, children are encouraged to take small, positive steps at their own pace.

Through acting, singing and dancing, they learn to trust themselves, celebrate their progress and recognise just how much they are capable of achieving.

Confidence grows with every class. 🎭✨
