About Spa Theatre Company
A Brief History
When Phyl Harris founded Spa Theatre Workshop (known affectionately as Spa Sprouts) in 1981 it was one of the first groups in the area to offer children aged 7 to 16 the opportunity to learn new skills and develop their talents in the performing arts.
For nine years STW successfully staged annual productions in a professional theatre, cast solely from within its own membership. In 1991 the decision was made to perform the hit musical West Side Story. The need to attract more mature performers for this hard-hitting and dramatic show led to the introduction of open auditions and the formation of a Senior Company for performers aged 16 and over.
It was also decided that a change of name to Spa Theatre Company would better reflect the expanded range of opportunities offered by having both a junior and a senior company.
Spa Theatre Junior Company
The main aim of STCJ is to have a positive effect on the lives of young people by providing them with the opportunity to develop life skills through access to a wide range of performing arts. It is dedicated to quality and to providing involvement and equal opportunities for all its members.
