The original and largest network of part-time performing arts schools for 4-18 year olds

Every year hundreds of Stagecoach students from around the UK and overseas audition to take part in the Summer showcase production Easy Stages. In August of last year Easy Stages students performed the musical 'The Secret Garden,' and now we are about to start the audition process for Easy Stages 2012.

Competition is tough as we expect to audition around 700 eligible Stagecoach students for 75 places. Auditions will be taking place across the country between February and March 2012, and will be held in: Aberdeen, Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Dublin, Edinburgh, Harrogate and Walton on Thames.

Successful students will rehearse for two and a half weeks followed by performances at the Leatherhead Theatre in Surrey from Thursday 9th to Saturday 11th August 2012. This year's show will be the celebrated musical 'Calamity Jane,' directed by Ally Altman-Cutler with Francesca Haslam and Dominic Haslam sharing Musical Direction duties and Tony Aiken as Choreographer.
