Summer Term Summer 2003 saw Stage2 move from mac - its home for 15 years. We became a Limited Company (5317309) and a Registered Charity (1108213) and moved to the studios at Birmingham School of Acting - first at the Link Building, then Millennium Point. Instead of staging a production this term, our members worked on Marketing and Promotions ready for the Autumn relaunch. "A new chapter for the enterprising and often brilliant Birmingham youth group." Evening Mail

 23rd-26th April
Studio Theatre, mac "Acclaimed youth theatre Stage2 are used to taking on strong works and for their latest production, they've pushed the boundaries even further. Peter Shaffer's Tony Award-winning masterpiece delves into the mind of a disturbed adolescent, who has committed a horrible crime. You should never underestimate a child's capacity to take onboard difficult subject matter." What's On. Stage2 collaborated with Spanish Artist Noemi Otamendi, whose stunning photography added another powerful dimension to this harrowing play. We saw the working's of Alan's mind manifested through an ensemble which conveyed the chaos, control and cruelty both vocally and physically ‚in Stage2's trademark style. 'Equus' also saw a final performance from Matthew Wycliffe (Hill) who went on to a very different role (from Alan's father) - starring as Buddy Holly in the West End smash hit 'Buddy'.

 16th-19th April
Hexagon Theatre, mac "A touch of light relief. After all the remarkable and taxing productions tackled by this enterprising young group - this has an air of breathing space. The youngsters clearly have fun and it's not hard to spot talent. Ruth Fowler is a wide-eyed expressive Dorothy, Charlotte Watson a very amusing Wicked Witch of the West. Joel Blackledge (Scarecrow), Luke Waite (Lion) and Raj Gill (Tin Man) are a very good team and Sam Moore as Toto the dog tickles a few funny bones from behind his dark sunglasses." Evening Mail

 22nd-25th January
Studio Theatre, mac "It's brash, it's naughty, it's unapologetically over the top - and it's another undoubted hit for this talented young group. Liz Light's production, set in Victorian times is beautifully costumed and shod with dozens of youngsters contributing unfalteringly to the fun. The romps are led uninhibitedly by Dan Dolan (Sir Andrew) and Tom McCarron (Sir Toby). Sam Blackledge is a posturing Malvolio whose downfall brings a lump to more than one sympathetic throat. This is a Christmas cracker." Evening Mail. "Really enjoyed it - not youth theatre as you know it." UK Theatre Web. "One of the best 'Twelfth Nights' I have ever seen - and that includes the RSC!" Head of English, King Edward VI Aston

 9th-12th January
Studio Theatre, mac "Jim Cartwright wrote his play for two people. Liz Light's production converts it into a cast of 110 - triumphantly. Her young company rises joyously to the happy first half and deals just as decisively with the stomach churning events after the interval. Excellent accounts of the one-sided battle and superb cameos. A cracker of a show." Evening Mail. "Youth group Stage2 is neither timid nor juvenile - it is known for tackling difficult subject matter - Cartwright's sharp study of a bickering couple, Richard Morgan and Charlene James, is no exception." Metronews
