Building confident children
Based at Carr Hill School in Retford on Saturdays, our emphasis is on fun and confidence-building in a safe environment. Younger children are always accompanied by a chaperone.
From an introduction to the basics including teamwork, confidence building, script reading and exploring song and choreography. Students will experience auditioning in a safe and fun environment leading to rehearsals and performance.
Classes
Classes are divided into 3 groups based upon school year and run for three hours (10 a.m. to 1.00 p.m.) comprising one hour of drama, one hour of dance and one hour of singing.
Your children will participate in performance games, rehearse production material, develop new skills all while making friends and having fun.
Includes snack breaks
Performances
Each year, FAR performs two shows.
The first is a Christmas show or pantomime in November and our main show is a Summer variety spectacular in July.
Awards
At the end of every summer show, the MTS awards ceremony takes place. These awards are given to children who have worked hard and excelled in each of the different disciplines (drama, dance and singing). Awards are also given for the most promising student and student of the year.
Meet our patron Lynne McGranger
You may know her as Irene Roberts in Home and Away but to us, she's our patron of Majestic Theatre School Lynne McGranger.
"It has been a pleasure to be patron of MTS from the very beginning back in 2008. I feel that performing arts is very important for children to support their imagination and ability to grow in a social and emotional way. It was lovely to meet some of the students last Christmas when they came to see me in panto at York Theatre and I look forward to hearing about their future achievements."
“I went to MTS when I was 8 till I was 13 and it formed me as a person and as a performer. I made the best friends I could ever wish for there and got the starter training I needed. I will forever be grateful for my time there. Thank you”
- Megan Hewitt, Former MTS Student
