Upcoming Events
a monster calls
Conor has the same dream every night, ever since his mother first fell ill, ever since she started the treatment that doesn’t quite seem to be working.
But tonight is different. Tonight, when he wakes, there’s a visitor at his window. It’s ancient, elemental, a force of nature. And it wants the most dangerous thing of all from Conor. It wants the truth.
taster for a tenner
Why not do a ‘Taster for a Tenner’? All you do is pay £10 and then if you decide to commit to us, you just pay the remainder of the fees the following week. To book your Taster, email markshaun.walsh@stage2.org.

a few key values
No one is ever left out
We have an excellent track-record for providing wide-ranging opportunities to our members, whist being totally open access and promoting equal opportunities in all areas: our primary rule that ‘no one is ever left out’.
Diversity & Accessibility
Anyone from age 7-21 can join, with absolutely zero audition or waitlist. Many members of our company have some kind of additional need or challenge, and our members are vastly diverse in ethnicity, gender identity, sexuality, neurodiversity, age and financial position as well as confidence and experience.
Promotion of self-belief
We foster an environment in which young people can learn confidence, the importance of empowerment and responsibility. This extends to the importance of commiment and loyalty, and a sense of achievement and pride.
