Each session at Haslemere Hall begins with vocal and dance warmups, plus plenty of confidence boosting drama games.

We believe confidence grows on stage. Students enjoy multiple live performance opportunities each year, and every child is given a speaking role while learning to work as part of an ensemble - an essential element of musical theatre and a valuable life skill.

Our productions are staged to professional standards with full lighting, microphones, and fantastic costumes, giving students a real insight into how theatre is made. Before each show, we run a photo shoot, and every production is professionally recorded so families can keep a lasting memento.
