Stage Stars Born

Growing up with a passion for the performing arts can be a thrilling experience, and for some, it's a dream to tread the boards of London's West End. The West End Academy, coming to Theatre Royal Brighton from Monday, 15 February 2027 to Friday, 19 February 2027, offers young people aged 12-16 the chance to do just that.

• Train with experienced industry professionals in acting, scene study, musical theatre, and dance • Develop vocal technique, acting skills, and choreography, inspired by the West End's biggest musicals • Create and perform original work, building confidence and teamwork skills in a supportive environment

The West End Academy is designed to give young performers a real taste of what it's like to work in the industry, with a trip to see a West End show included in the course fee. On the final day, participants will perform in an end-of-week showcase for family and friends on a genuine West End stage.
