😁Check out these beaming faces! Our students build friendships, support one another and develop the confidence to be themselves.

For many young people, being part of a creative, welcoming group helps them grow in self-belief and feel part of something special.

🌍That sense of belonging can make a huge difference.

When young people explore different characters, emotions and experiences, they begin to see the world from another person’s point of view.

Performing arts encourages children to listen, notice how others may be feeling and respond with kindness and compassion. It helps them build stronger friendships, become more thoughtful and understand that everyone has a story worth hearing. 🌟

🎭🎟️One week ago, our amazing West End Summer Academy company had just finished performing a Cabaret that had been staged just hours before! 👏

These incredible young people were put through their paces throughout the week, working alongside our industry professionals in Masterclasses that included Acting for Screen, mastering the Self -Tape, Musical Theatre 🎵dance, singing and acting workshops, 🎭Unmasking the Mask specialist workshops in the Actor’s Body as Source, Theatre Making, Theatre design and more!

✨Our Summer Academy is designed to give aspiring performers (and those new to performing arts training) an immersive week in the performing arts - developing so many new skills, making friends, building confidence whilst also learning what it takes to train in a professional environment and then create fearless work together, trusting the ensemble to make bold, creative choices! ✨

📌Working with us weekly every Saturday might be your child’s next step and we would love to welcome you on 12th September for the start of our Autumn Term.

🎉Theatretrain Reading will always deliver exceptional training and performance opportunities - we provide a safe space to be creative - our classes are so much fun - and our training is top tier.

❤️We give you all of this and more, because we want your child to grow and believe in themselves.

Friendship. 💙

It can begin with a smile. 😊

A warm-up game. 🎭

A shared laugh. 😄

A moment on stage. ✨

In our performing arts classes, children work together, support each other and become part of a team. 🤝🎶💃

Different voices.
Different personalities.

One place to belong. 🌟

On International Day of Friendship, we’re celebrating the friendships that grow through performing arts. 🫶

Because no child should feel like they are standing alone. 💛

We receive so many beautiful comments like this about Theatretrain Reading and thank you for sharing your feedback.

⭐️Our productions are staged to the highest standard and several of you felt that our most recent show ‘𝙉𝒆𝙬𝒔𝙞𝒆𝙨’ 𝒘𝙖𝒔 𝒍𝙞𝒌𝙚 ‘𝒘𝙖𝒕𝙘𝒉𝙞𝒏𝙜 𝙖 𝙒𝒆𝙨𝒕 𝑬𝙣𝒅 𝒔𝙝𝒐𝙬’, because the work was so committed, so energised, so together and fully realised. Thank you.

⭐️We performed 5 shows this season (wow!) but our shows are just the tip of the iceberg.

⭐️It is the environment we foster and the high level of training we offer at Theatretrain Reading that beautifully allows our students to work fearlessly, to be generous, to trust in their artistic choices, to commit fully to being the best they can be and ultimately be proud of themselves.
