Youth Theatre
BIGLITTLE Youth Theatre, split into four companies by age group, has become the school's flagship. Students learn skills in acting, singing and dance and develop confidence and performance maturity through the rehearsal process with professional directors, choreographers and musical directors.
Each company gets two performance opportunities yearly: the first as part of our annual ArtsFest event in the spring and the second at the end of the summer term. Sparks (years 2-5) perform a devised musical project, while Footlights (years 4-6), Limelights (years 7-9), and Starlights (years 10-13) take part in BROADWAY SHOWTUNES at the Bournemouth Pavilion.
Entrance to the Youth Theatre is via audition only, usually in September each year - with occasional intakes in March.
In addition to the four youth theatre companies, we have our ACT Youth Theatre Company.
We also have our advanced Professional Development Programme also participates in BROADWAY SHOWTUNES and a full musical production during the February half-term.
