Our four-day musical theatre summer School will be taking place within the beautiful setting of Michael Hall Steiner School in Forest Row in Sussex. 

 

It is open to all children aged 7-12 years and will involve four fun-packed days learning musical theatre and creative choreography and having fun with like-minded friends.

The final day will involve a performance in the school’s theatre and will run from 9-6pm, with parents and carers invited to watch the final performance. Please note that timings and dates are provisional and are subject to change.
