Theatre School

The Majestic
Theatre School (MTS) started in September 2004 and was
formed due to the overwhelming number of children that
had enjoyed our majestic summer school 2004.
Within MTS there are two schools, which run on Saturdays
during term time. The main school is for children ages 7
– 16 and the junior school is for ages 5 – 7.

Timetable
Main school classes run for three hours and are divided
into one hour of drama, one hour of dance and one hour
of singing.
The junior school class runs for one hour and
incorporates all of the three disciplines.
All classes are taught by highly qualified professional
actor/teachers in a fun and safe environment*. It is
extremely important to us that each child is valued and
included, whatever their academic ability, social
background or talent.

Each year MTS performs two shows. the first is a
Christmas show or pantomime and our main show is a

involved in the following professional shows at The
Majestic Theatre:

Special Events
As well as having Chris Rankin come to our 2005 summer
show, in January 2005 Lynne Mcranger aka ‘Irene’ from
‘Home and Away’ came to visit the children to talk about
being in a successful soap opera. She gave out signed
autographs and w also had a question and answer session.
