Weekly Classes

Early Stages (for ages 4-6 yrs)

Stagecoach Early Stages
Early Stages classes run alongside the main Stagecoach schools, where young people learn skills in each of the three Musical Theatre disciplines of singing, dancing & drama, so it is an easy step when it is time to transfer to the next stage.

(90 minutes each week)

Main Stages (for ages 6-18 yrs)

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. We nurture the shy and apprehensive, until they find their feet and voice, whilst at the same time developing and channelling those with bundles of talent, confidence and energy. We believe in the potential of every child!

Meet The Team

Principal - Jo Featherstone

I have been Principal at Stagecoach Newmarket since it opened in September 2004 and I have had the privilege of working with some fantastic young people. I still have students who started on the first day and some of my students who started in the first Early Stages class are now in Stage 3 of the Main School. I have ex-students who have gone on to performing arts and drama colleges and they keep in touch, and come back to see us, which is fantastic. I truly believe that children get so many benefits from coming to Stagecoach, from learning basic skills in dance, drama and singing to learning how to work as part of a team, taking an idea and turning it into a full-blown production and self confidence and pride in themselves and their work, to name but a few! I am very passionate about my school, my teachers and above all my students and I am committed to providing them with the best teaching, facilities and resources I can.
