Stage1 is our group for 7-11 year olds and runs on Sunday mornings, 9.30am-1pm. We are very exciting to be relaunching this group, which is all about fun and friends! If you want your child to gain confidence, make new friends, learn a new skill and have buckets of fun, then this is definitely the option for them. This session is lead by the wonderful Alice Berrill and Louis Delaney.

Pic’n’Mix is a wonderful opportunity for the more experienced members to give back to Stage2 and take charge of their own workshops. Supported by the multi talented Ryan Fox, Pic’n’Mix will be a term of mini workshops led by peers that will explore a multitude of aspects found within Theatre. More details to follow soon!

This is an opportunity to get involved with the debut show of our Performances Manager: Mark Shaun Walsh. Whilst we cannot reveal the show just yet, this is a great chance to get stuck into an emotionally expansive performance, which will touch on movement based theatre, naturalism and Theatre of the Absurd.

Anybody can join the chorus without any auditions.

We are delighted to be welcoming back Louis Delaney to run this option this term. They had a fantastic career in Stage2 – obtaining the highest Grades possible in Acting, Devising and Shakespeare, running the Mentor Scheme, as well as setting up Chickenscratch Theatre Company with fellow Stage2 alumni Elijah Dix and Daisy Wilkes.
They are an experienced playworker and still work for Woodcraft Folk. This will be the usual mix of exercises to give you a grounding in all aspects of performance. As well as learning valuable and varied skills to feed into your acting and drama knowledge and experience, (both inside and outside the company), there will be plenty of games and fun. Highlights will be shown to relatives and friends in the Sharings at the end of term.

We will be auditioning for the cast of the Spring show with current members at the end of the Autumn Term 2025. 

The Afternoon rehearsals for the Spring show will allow the rehearsing of less chorus heavy scenes to be continued into the afternoon. 

‘Contracts’ detailing the commitment are available at Stage2 on a Sunday. If any chorus members would like to stick around for the afternoon session they are very welcome to. They may also get to join in some additional scenes.
