BrightLights Theatre School

BrightLights Theatre School The East Midlands most exciting Performing Arts School for students aged from 4 to 21 BrightLights is VERY much connected to the industry.

BrightLights Theatre School is an exciting school for 4-18 year olds, which opened in September 2011 in Loughborough. It is run by Nick Sutcliffe, a professional actor with 25 years experience in the West End, major regional theatres, touring productions, TV and commercials. He has also worked as a director and choreographer, recently having directed four of Shakespeares plays at The Bristol Old Vic for the BBC One Night of Shakespeare. We have two TV casting directors who hsve visited us, several West End performers, TV actors, and choreographers are lined up to come and give Masterclasses in their field. We are lucky enough to have had Nadine Cox (original West End cast of "Wicked", "Billy Elliot", "The Full Monty") and Carl Sanderson ("The Phantom of the Opera", "Cats", "Crazy For You", "Acorn Antiques the Musical", "Starlight Express", "The Mikado", "Hello Dolly" - all West End) as guest teachers. The school runs every week during term time, theatre school classes for 7-18 year olds are:- Fridays 5 pm - 8 pm, Saturday 10 am-1 pm, 2 pm - 5 pm and Sunday 10 am - 1 pm. Students are grouped by age and have an hour each of drama, singing and dance tuition each week. Bright Young Things, our sessions for 4-6 year olds, are every Saturday during term time 9.30 am - 11.00am and 11.45 am - 1.15 pm
