What makes our Colchester Performing Arts School Unique? Theatre schools for adults and young children in Colchester - Free Taster Session >

Our recent shows performed to sell out audiences at Colchester's Mercury theatre include Little Mermaid, Alice In Wonderland, Peter Pan, Seussical The Musical, Dracula Rock Show. We Will Rock You
We teach our students to Act, Sing and Dance and learn how to Perform which is the core part of our business, but it’s really much more than that! It’s about finding something you LOVE, building CONFIDENCE in all aspects of life, showing that it doesn’t matter if you make a mistake and just ENCOURAGING you to go for it!! Performing with us is like being part of a BIG HUG! Each child, no matter their ability or talent, is encouraged to do well and in turn, encourage their Theatricool friends to do well too!
We have a VERY HIGH RATIO OF STAFF TO STUDENTS, we can therefore nurture the 'not so confident ones' to develop at their own pace.
We perform TWO SHOWS PER YEAR, this allows our students to showcase their work in a professional theatre.
We use PURPOSE BUILT STUDIOS to ensure our students get the very best experience and training.
We really are one big team at Theatricool each student is a star in our eyes. They all get a chance TO SHINE!
