We've come to the end of a brilliant term - it was "The One With Performances" and it hasn't disappointed. Since October half term, our fantastic students have performed a total of 8 times (that's more than one performance per week!) The first years performed their first public show in the Everyman Studio - their [...]
It's been a hectic week at Stagedoor - over the last week, our students have done four different performances of three different shows, in three different venues, with a total of over 1100 people in the combined audiences! First up was the second year students' production of Zero For The Young Dudes! at Chosen Hill [...]
Four Stagedoor students have been treading the boards this week as part of On The Mend - a play written and directed by Bryn Holding, and produced by the Everyman as part of Cheltenham Remembers - a programme of events commemorating the centenary of the end of World War 1. The play featured nine community [...]
Recent conversations with a couple of our current students have revealed that they nearly didn't apply for our Level 3 BTEC course because they thought it sounded too good to be true. Performing in a professional theatre? Loads of theatre trips? Meeting and working with a huge range of industry professionals? 3 A Level equivalent? [...]
One of the great things about being a Stagedoor student is the opportunity to work with professionals - not just in workshops, but as a performer. We're very much in the right place at the right time, which means we get more opportunities than Performing Arts students in other schools or colleges. At the moment, [...]
We have been having a very busy term so far, with three different performances in rehearsal, plenty of work with industry professionals and lots of opportunity to watch productions at the Everyman. Our second years are currently rehearsing Zero For the Young Dudes! by Alistair McDowall, which will be performed in the Everyman's Irving Studio [...]
After a lovely summer break, we were back this week with a whole new fantastic group of talented and committed young performers, who are excited about what the next two years will bring. We kicked off the year with a day at the Everyman Theatre, where the students had not one, but two theatre tours, [...]
We have now closed the doors at Stagedoor HQ for the summer holidays, and are enjoying a well-deserved rest after a phenomenal first year. The last week of term saw us visiting two local primary schools - Warden Hill and Greatfield Park, to perform an abridged version of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Our first port [...]
On Monday of this week, we performed to a sell-out audience in the Everyman studio, for the final time this year. The show - If Music Be The Food Of Love, was a celebration of Shakespeare, and included excerpts from some of his best known and best loved plays, as well as songs inspired by [...]
Our main focus this week has been preparation and rehearsal for our show - If Music Be The Food of Love, which will be taking to the stage in the Everyman Studio on Monday 2nd July. However, on Friday, we took a break from rehearsals to participate in a workshop with a theatre company called [...]
