Musical Theatre is designed specifically for young performers who show promise and who are keen to develop their skills. The course offers two performances a year, one edited production of a scripted musical and a studio project.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/centre-stage.com\/home\/auditions\/\"><strong>Auditions<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In order to maintain a high standard, <strong>performers must audition for this course<\/strong> and it must be noted that if a performer is accepted on the course there must be a high level of commitment and attendance.<\/p>\n<p>Please note, in order for Centre Stage to maintain these standards we can only take those who show particular promise. Students should therefore be advised that they might not be accepted on the course. If this is the case, then we recommend that the student should continue hourly classes in order to further develop their skills.<\/p>\n<p>An audition is required for entry onto this course. This will entail\u00a0a class briefing for student and parent, the\u00a0preparation of a song, a monologue, and copying some basic movement.<\/p>\n<p>Please\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.centre-stage.com\/home\/auditions\">click here<\/a>\u00a0for all the audition details.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trinity College London Exams<br \/><\/strong>in 2019 we introduced the option of staying an extra hour after class to work towards Trinity College London exams in Musical Theatre.
