A Theatre School based in Newton Aycliffe is celebrating 17 years.
Applause Theatre Arts which holds vocal, drama and dance tuition in Newton Aycliffe is celebrating its 17th anniversary by offering free places to local students who would like to learn more about musical theatre, teamwork and recording.
The musical theatre school, which runs every Friday evening during school term times, operated originally from Bishop Auckland before moving to Newton Aycliffe after the Covid restrictions, has gone from strength to strength over the years and has seen students gaining UCAS points through LAMDA (London Academy of Dramatic Arts) examinations.
Kate Ruddick, the Principal of the school, said, “we have had so much joy, fun and development over the years in Newton Aycliffe that we thought we would offer the chance for someone to receive a free place at the school.” She added “The students get so much from the extra curricular activities we offer, they grow as individuals, more poise, better social skills and just become more confident within themselves, it really nice to see them develop over the years.”
The free to enter competition is done by email or via the schools Facebook page, Applause Newton Aycliffe, and will also offer free sessions in dance, drama and singing for runners up, so there really is no reason not to enter.
The email address for entry is learning@playful.com or simply find the school on Facebook. If you would like to learn more about the school and what it does, you are more than welcome to call Kate Ruddick on 07912 891934.
