Join us for an incredible, not-to-be-missed experience of a lifetime with our trip to ICC, Birmingham for Music Theatre International's Junior Theatre Festival 2025.

EVENT DATE - SATURDAY 24TH MAY 2025

REHEARSALS - Every Sunday from February, (excluding school holidays, Mother's Day and 16th March LAMDA Exam Day)

From February we will be casting and rehearsing our performance for the event, an excerpt from High School Musical, which will be performed to a panel of judges at the event (we are talking West End and Broadway directors, choreographers, MDs and producers!!).
Rehearsals will be held on Sundays 1-4pm at ReAct Studios, Church, BB5 0DP every week (excluding school holidays, Mother's Day and our LAMDA exam day) up until the trip, and attendance MUST be a priority - this has to be an incredible piece of theatre that we present, so rehearsals are a MUST!!!

ON THE DAY OF THE EVENT...
It's an early start! We will be setting off from ReAct Studios, Church, BB5 0DP at 5am. Children will be given t-shirts to wear which they MUST arrive in on the day. They will also need a packed lunch and a refillable bottle of water. ReAct logo or plain black leggings / jogging bottoms must also be worn along with black or dark trainers or jazz sneakers. Long hair will need to be neatly tied back, (French plaits are best).
Upon arrival at ICC, Birmingham our kids will be thrust into some incredible workshops with the likes of West End choreographers (last year it was the resident choreographer from Matilda!!), directors, vocal coaches... the list goes on.
After a rehearsal, they will perform their High School Musical piece, and they will also get to see some professional performances of West End show extracts (last year we had a cast member of SIX The Musical amongst others), brand new works unseen by anyone else, and our kids may even be selected to perform on the big stage as part of the All-Stars to an audience of over 2000 people!!

Our coach will depart around 7pm and we estimate to arrive back at ReAct Studios for 9.45/10pm - physically exhausted, but mentally buzzing!!

We cannot wait to go... this is going to be the best day EVER!!
