A very big welcome to Stagecoach Harpenden! We believe that the whole world is a stage and the skills children learn at Stagecoach Harpenden will help them at school, university and in their future careers. We provide children with the opportunity to participate in all three performing arts disciplines - singing, dancing and acting - helping to develop confidence, physical awareness, communication and articulation, as well as being educational, safe and lots of fun.

Stagecoach Main Stages
Main Stages classes are split in three age appropriate groups, where young people learn new skills in each of the complementary Musical Theatre disciplines of singing, dancing & drama.
