We’re bringing back our popular Musical Theatre Summer School for yet another year, and this time, we’ve got a very special guest…
West End star Monique Ashe-Palmer, who brings a wealth of experience and knowledge, will be leading this year’s course. Her theatre credits include Standing at the Sky’s Edge (The Gillian Lynne Theatre); SIX (Vaudeville Theatre); Madagascar the Musical (U.K Tour), and Waitress (U.K. Tour).
Over 5 days, aspiring performers aged 13-19 years will work alongside Monique on an array of theatre pieces, before performing to family and friends as part of a sharing in the Studio Theatre. The week-long course will enable participants to express their creativity, make fabulous friendships, and develop show stopping skills that’ll have them stealing the spotlight.
Artistic Programmes & Youth Theatre Coordinator, Abbie Riddell, said: “We are thrilled to be joined by Monique for our Musical Theatre Summer School this year. It’s an exciting time for musical theatre in the UK, with new musicals engaging new audiences and creating a real buzz for the arts industry.”
She added: “For local young people to work with someone like Monique, who is currently in the West End cast of Standing at the Sky’s Edge, is an unmissable opportunity.”
Our Musical Theatre Summer School, which will run from Monday 19 – Friday 23 August, is delivered in collaboration with Rest End Ltd. Rest End provides accessible, industry-led performing arts opportunities for schools, colleges, and theatre-loving individuals, including workshops, musical theatre parties, and private coaching.
The company is uniquely formed and comprised of resting professional actors, all of whom share extensive and recent West End experience.
