Do Drama Your Way!

 

Whether you want a bit of time to escape the pressures of life every week, or are thinking of a career in performing and want to eat, sleep and dream it: there is something for you at Spotlites!  You can mix and match different activities to tailor-make your performing experience!

Spotlites runs drama workshops every week: some people come along to enjoy themselves; some use the sessions to learn the foundations of performance. 

You can choose to audition for shows; some shows are rehearsed in the weekly drama workshops in a fun and relaxed way; or if you are more serious about performing and want to learn in a quicker more focussed way, you can audition for full scale productions which run at our theatre and often tour – last year to Edinburgh! This year to London!

 

Don’t want to perform in a show? No worries!  There’s tons you can do!

Choose from workshops in:- acting, singing, dance, playreading, musical theatre, backstage, drumming (click on link in left hand menu).

 

You can play in the band for musicals (working with a professional musical director!), you can even join our agency (with members shooting films for Sky One and touring to the famous film festivals, appearing on the Basil Brush show and helping with reconstructions for the news!)

 

In summer 2006 ‘Tommy’ (a rock musical performed by Spotlites Youth Theatre) received 2 five-star reviews (better than most professional shows!) at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe!
