Theatretrain Bristol

Theatretrain Bristol The UK's Premier Theatre School for Large Scale Productions.

Theatretrain classes combine two essential elements for the performer - individual skills in acting, dancing and singing and team skills in performance. Since 1992 the company has given over 90 performances in West End theatres as well as performing at the O2 Arena (2013) and annually at the Royal Albert Hall. These productions are specially created by the company to give everyone about 80% of time on stage and a real grasp of how to prepare and how to perform. The company philosophy is built on the work of founder and Artistic Director Kevin Dowsett who for over 40 years has pioneered performing arts training for young people and who taught a generation of now famous performers. Storytelling, sound, movement, time, space, creativity and the audience are the key aspects of the training. The aim is to create performers who are alive on stage to each other and the audience, who can get in touch with feelings and who are generous to each other and serve the work rather than themselves.

5th September 2026 | International Day of Charity 2026
💙 International Day of Charity 💛

We’re incredibly proud to support Theodora Children’s Charity and the wonderful work of their Giggle Doctors, who bring laughter, joy and precious moments of happiness to children in hospitals across the UK.

Some years ago, the Theatretrain family came together to record our charity single ‘Somewhere’, helping to raise funds for this very special charity.
To date, we’re incredibly proud to have raised over £110,992 for Theodora Children’s Charity. 💙

To mark International Day of Charity, we’re sharing a little snippet of Somewhere being performed — a lovely reminder of what can happen when our Theatretrain community comes together for something that really matters.

Confidence Can Start With One Small Brave Moment

Confidence isn't always the child who walks into the room making the most noise.
Sometimes it's the child who finally puts their hand up.

The child who volunteers to go first.
The child who stops worrying about getting it wrong.
Or the child who stands on stage and suddenly realises...
"I can do this."

That's one of the things we love most about performing arts.
The applause is lovely.
But what happens to a young person's belief in themselves along the way is even better. 💙💛
