Firstly, a series of acting, singing and musical theatre one day events aimed at young people aged eight to 16 led by Helena and Lizzie, music and drama teachers with more than 20 years’ experience.

This starts with Singing in Harmony and Working with Scripts on May 29 at Eighteen 91 (Chapel on the Hill) in Whitby, developing skills and confidence on stage.

There is no need for any prior experience and all children are welcome.

June 22 is the date for a focused acting workshop working on character development and stage presence, and July 20 is time to celebrate musical theatre through a series of practical and engaging activities.
