It has been a hectic week getting the studio back to some sort of tidy normality following show weekend... But we would like to say a MASSIVE WELL DONE to all cast members of Creative Blast Performing Arts Academy's annual show, 'Tomorrow' at the Thameside Theatre on Sunday just gone.

All of the CBPA's students worked to put on a great show and it was a pleasure to have Troupe! from Arts Outburst with us, upping the ante. It was a pleasure, we loved having the honour to present an inter-generational show this year!

Much love goes to our alumni students that joined us to support the cast, and of course our darling chaperones, for all their help backstage. We appreciate you!

Tutors, thank you for all of your guidance and graft this year, the company are lucky to have you. Creative Blast internal team, we see all of your effort to make things happen, you are golden! 💛

Thameside Theatre tech team - thank you for your service! 🫡

Students, enjoy your summer break and we can't wait to have you back in September, to have fun and help you hone your craft! 🎭

Alumni Spotlight 🎭✨
Last month, one of our former students, Brandon Levy, appeared on Gateway 97.8FM to talk about his new music releases, Hometown and The Snakes Song, as well as his recent graduation with a degree in Digital Marketing & Social Media.

During the interview, Brandon also shared how his love of music began here at Creative Blast Academy, where he performed as Seaweed in Hairspray, and reflected on how our classes helped shape his future. 🌟

At Creative Blast, we don't just nurture our students' performance skills—we help them build confidence, creativity and transferable life skills that extend far beyond the stage, supporting them wherever their future takes them.

We pride ourselves on delivering our classes in a safe, friendly environment where students can be creative, develop new skills, and express themselves without fear of judgement.

Blast From The Past! ✨

Week 3 of our nostalgia series is here, and this one is full of food, glorious food! 🎭✨

This time, we’re revisiting our 2017 Summer production of Oom Pah Pah

Bringing the streets of Victorian London to the Thameside Theatre, this production was packed with big musical numbers and plenty of theatrical magic along the way!
