What does being a Spa Theatre Junior member involve?

​

Spa Theatre is different as we are a teaching organisation. Our mission is to enable children aged 8-17 to learn new skills and develop their talents in the performing arts, whilst giving them the opportunity to perform in a professional theatre and experience the true ‘spit and sawdust’ of a real live production!  Each member is taught a mixture of music, dance, mime, speech and drama skills all within an environment based on trust, care, equality, commitment and mutual respect.
 
Each year we deliver a fantastic show at a local professional theatre which invites everyone in the local area to visit and enjoy.  The shows always attract large audiences, are delivered to a high standard and are well received.

​

Why should I choose Spa Theatre Company?

​

The company has been delivering excellent theatrical skills and experiences to young people for over 41 years.  It was the first theatre group for young people in Leamington Spa. The dedication of the committee, members and parents make this a welcoming, fun and rewarding theatre group to be part of.

How do you keep your fees so low?
