Weekly Classes

Early Stages (for ages 4-6 yrs)

Stagecoach Early Stages

Our 90-minute Early Stages classes run alongside the main Stagecoach schools, giving young performers the chance to learn key skills in each of the three musical theatre disciplines of singing, dancing, and acting each week. These fun and engaging sessions build skills and confidence, so it is an easy step when it is time to transfer to the next stage.
 

Main Stages (for ages 6-18 yrs)

Stagecoach Main Stages
Our 3-hour weekly 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, and acting. 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!

 

Further Stages (for ages 15+ yrs)

Stagecoach Further Stages
Our advanced musical theatre sessions give talented students the chance to extend their performance skills.  Through in-depth training and master classes, we help students to hone their skills in singing, dancing and acting.  We also give students the confidence to audition for theatre and vocational drama schools (if that is their goal) and make sure they are well prepared for interviews and auditions. 

Fees in accordance with Main Stages.

Meet The Team

Principal - Joshua Bradley - BA (hons) & Post-graduate in Education

Joshua has a strong belief that a creative education is imperative to a child’s educational and social development as well as their emotional, physical and mental health. He has seen the value which performing arts can have at first hand and this drives his ambition to ensure that children have the opportunity to develop skills away from the confines of the classroom.
 
Joshua completed his post-graduate degree in education at the University of Sunderland, after gaining his Degree in Drama. Joshua taught at a college in London as course leader for Performing Arts Acting, producing a variety of shows at venues including the underground tunnels of the Vaults Theatre, London and Brighton Fringe Festival. Joshua returned to a teaching post in his adoptive home, the North-East, before setting out on his Stagecoach journey. Joshua’s proudest moments revolve around seeing the progression of his students both socially, as well as academically and practically, and he feels privileged to have been part of his students’ journeys to University and Drama School.
 
Joshua has found his calling as Principal at Stagecoach to Newcastle and he looks forward to seeing many more students thrive through a creative education!
