Classes

We run regular performing arts classes for students aged from 5 to 18 years. Following the triple threat approach, we combine acting, singing, and dancing in equal measure to provide a well-rounded education. We offer a variety of performance opportunities, including plays and musicals at both our in-house studio theatre and the local Chelmsford Theatre. Additionally, we give students the chance to showcase their talents throughout the year in music videos and singing competitions, ensuring there’s something for every performer, regardless of their interests.

Students attend regular skills classes while rehearsing for productions, which results in performances of the highest calibre.

Our comprehensive training not only prepares students for the stage but also empowers them with confidence, discipline, and creativity that will benefit them far beyond the spotlight.

At the end of each summer term students perform in a showcase at the Chelmsford Theatre which is a great chance for family members and the general public to see a review of their achievements throughout the year.

Student Success

Over the years many of our students have secured roles in West End musicals, TV and films. These are just some of the shows our students have appeared in whilst training with us. Many of them go on to train at top drama schools around the country and some of those have been fortunate enough to make a career for themselves, working professionally in the West End and on screen.

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.
