In the world of performing arts,🎭 there are moments that transcend the ordinary, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of all who bear witness. Last week, Theatretrain reached such a milestone, and it was nothing short of extraordinary! ⭐

𝗪𝗢𝗪! 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗔 𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗪! 🎭
It’s been nearly a week since we took to the legendary stage of The Royal Albert Hall, and it still hasn’t quite sunk in. It was such an amazing day and to see our young performers give it their all on such an iconic stage, was just breathtaking.

Here’s a few of our favourite pictures of the day. There’ll be plenty more pictures and videos to follow, but nothing could possibly capture the feeling of being in that arena, hearing the live orchestra, and seeing our young performers dance, sing and act their hearts out. We’re so proud of them. Congratulations Royal Albert Hall cast of 2023!

𝗗𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗚𝗜𝗚𝗚𝗟𝗘𝗦 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯!
On 7th October Theatretrain students up and down the country will be taking part in a Dance-a-thon for Theodora's Children's Charity!

This wonderful organisation sends specially trained “Giggle Doctors” to brighten up children’s lives who are undergoing long term treatment in hospitals, hospices, and care facilities.

In 2018 Theatretrain Centres across the UK raised an incredible £62,738.92 and now it’s time to roll our sleeves up and see if we can beat that figure!

Families - please see the email for more info. Get ready to Dance for Giggles! 😂

For any adults who love to perform, why not get involved with The Portsmouth Players! Check out their upcoming auditions below. 🎭

⭐EXCITING NEWS⭐

As the big day arrives for our performance of "We're Gonna Change the World” we wanted to share with you a very special message from one of our super talented patrons. Simon Lipkin, a former Theatretrain pupil shares his best wishes and thoughts below. 🎭🎶👇

"I remember being a young boy at Theatretrain, taking a deep breath before I walked on my first west-end stage. I remember thinking “I hope one day I get to do this as an adult”. I would never of had that thought had it not been for opportunities like the one you’re having now. Dream big and believe. You can do anything you put your heart and your mind to. And I promise you, it never gets any less exciting! Being on a stage is one of the most expressive and connected things you can do. You want to make an audience happy, and the audience is there wanting to be happy, to be entertained. No one ever turned up to the theatre saying, “I hope I have a terrible time!!”. So that means everyone is there for the same reason. Tonight there will be thousands of people in the same room wanting to be happy and have a great time. So if you’re ever feeling nervous, just remember that. Joy, happiness, connection, excitement…all of those words are more powerful than nervous. They say Disneyland is the happiest place on earth…..I disagree….it’s inside a theatre. And for so many of us. That started at Theatretrain. Have the best night!!!"
~ Simon

Did you know that in September our students are performing at The Royal Albert Hall in Theatretrain's 100th large-scale production, 'We're Gonna Change The World'!

One of the things that makes Theatretrain unique is large-scale productions for all our Main Company performers. Since 1993, Theatretrain has given performances in some of the UK’s most prestigious venues including the London Palladium, Theatre Royal Drury Lane, the Dominion Theatre, Her Majesty’s Theatre and the Royal Albert Hall. That’s the difference with Theatretrain, and why we stand out from the crowd.

Would your child love to perform at landmark venues like the Royal Albert Hall and in London’s West End? Our large-scale performances give our students the chance to gain real stage experience on some of the most famous stages in the world.

We're now enrolling new students for September! Visit www.theatretrain.co.uk/portsmouth for more information and book a taster session with us! 🎭
