"A truly inspiring theatre school. My 8 year old joined half way through the year but is absolutely loving it. We can already see the difference in her confidence and enthusiasm for her performances."
"My 16 year old daughter loves TT and it will no doubt help to take her forwards in whatever performing arts area she wants to pursue! Great teaching and support from all of the staff."
"My daughter has been a member since January and has loved every minute from start to finish. She has made some wonderful friends too! Tomorrows Talent is on another level to anything I have seen."
"The team you have is brilliant and the standards you set, the vision, decisions, talent and training are all of the highest standard. We trust our children to you and what lucky children they are."
"I just wanted to write and say how fantastic the show was on Saturday - we were blown away (and moved to tears at points too)! Thank you for everything you’ve done for our daughter."
"The whole family came to watch the show and thought it was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The opportunities that you give the children are superb... thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"My daughter started her performing life at TT and after training in London for 3 years she landed her first professional job in a film for the BBC. Thank you, Gavin, Richard and all at TT! You are the best!"

Richard Shorrocks

Richard Shorrocks

Administrator

Richard’s career journey began as a silver-service waiter in the Merchant Navy, where he worked on several ships, including the iconic QE2.

After spending five years travelling around the world, he made the decision to retrain for a career in the emerging IT industry, a time before the internet had become widely accessible. He worked for many years as a programmer on mainframe computers, specialising in banking and insurance systems in London’s financial sector.

In the early 2000s, seeking a quieter life away from the hustle of London, Richard shifted his focus and became involved with Tomorrow’s Talent on a part-time basis. As the business grew, so did his role, and over the course of 16 years, Richard now fully manages the administration side of the business. Today, he plays a key role in ensuring the smooth day-to-day operation of the school and its studios.
