The highlight of Week 4 was 0ur visit to BBC Radio Gloucestershire to meet afternoon show host Dominic Cotter and to watch him in action. We were able to spend half an hour in the studio, watching how Dominic ran his show, as well as getting a good look at the set up. Three of [...]
The highlight of week 3 involved Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and my favourite Blue Peter presenter Peter Duncan. It was Million Dollar Quartet week at the Everyman and the Stagedoor gang were certainly all shook up (Kelly's joke, not mine, but very appropriate) Million Dollar Quartet was actually the second [...]
Week 2 is almost over, and highlights have included a visit to see English Touring Theatre's production of The Weir, Conor McPherson's award winning play. Prior to seeing the play, on the Everyman's main stage we were lucky enough to have a workshop with Katie-Ann McDonough, the production's Associate Director, who ran an energetic and [...]
Today was Day 1 for our brand new students, and it was pretty full-on. We met at the Everyman, meeting Louise Partridge, Head of Education and Community at the theatre, who talked us through the huge amount of exciting things in store over the next few weeks.

If you are about to start Year 11, then you are entering one of the busiest times of your life so far! Not only will you be focusing on getting the best GCSE grades you are capable of, but you'll have to put up with teachers (and parents) nagging you to think about what you're [...]
Why study with Stagedoor? I can think of lots of reasons. Firstly, we limit the number of students, meaning that every student will get plenty of focus and attention, enabling them to develop their skills as a performer and meet their potential. This also means that we can tailor the course by the interests of [...]
