STAGE STARS - GROUPS

In 2006 to make sure we were able to continue to offer the best quality tuition aimed spefically at the ages we cater for we split our membership into three groups; the childrens, juniors and youths. This not only allows us to keep class sizes down but also make sure we can teach relevant to the smaller age ranges at the classes.

Childrens Group
Our childrens group runs on a Saturday morning from 10.00am - 13.00pm with two 90 minute classes. The childrens group caters for ages 5 - 10 and will accomodate anyone from school years 1 - 5 depending on times they are able to attend. Our childrens group is more focussed on learning the basic skills and developing confidence ready to progress into the other groups. The childrens group will stage at least one full scale production each year and occasionally join with the junior group for one large show or professional and public engagements.

Junior Group
Our junior group runs on a Saturday afternoon from 14.00pm - 17.00pm with two 90 minute classes. The junior group caters for ages 10 - 14 and will accomodate anyone from school years 5 - 8 depending on times they are able to attend. Our junior group spends most of its time looking as more advanced performing arts skill and techniques and looks alot more into progressing pupils to put on more professional productions and having the right tools to turn their hobby into a possible career. The junior group will stage at least one full scale production each year but members will normally be given the oppertunity to join in with youth group shows and occasionally also team up with the childrens group for one large show or in professional and public engagements.

Youth Group
Our youth group runs on a Monday evening from 7.30pm - 9.30pm for a full two hour class. The youth group caters for ages 14 - 24 and will accomodate anyone from school years 8 upwards depending on times they are able to attend. Our youth group spends most of its time working toward staging shows throughout the city to a professional standard as well as running workshops sessions aiming to allow the members to be able and ready to audition for professional productions or theatre colleges should they so wish. That said a huge majority of the youth group attend purely as a hobby for fun and while they still perform to a very high standard have no intention of continuing performance arts as a career, they are there for the enjoyment. The youth group will stage at least two full scale production each year and members are also given various oppertunities to perform in professional and public engagements through us.
