We meet on Monday evenings at Waterside Arts and spend our time working on theatre exercises, play rehearsals, script building, improvisation, voice over work, film production and other projects that present themselves along the way.

Our members group has a relaxed feel between projects and our hard work during performance months is balanced with lighter style periods of short term work.

We aim to produce one or two main performances per year and enjoy opportunities at local events such as Sale Festival, Lord Mayor's Concert and other public gatherings.

LAMDA is the name of a drama school that provides assessments in speech, drama and communication. We can prepare students for LAMDA exams at the Manchester Centre.

There are many other exam boards offering assessment in the same subjects with the same qualification level.

Spotlight offers exams with University of West London / London College of Music (also referred to as LCM) in the same subjects as LAMDA. Our group class students work towards LCM exams in the summer term of each academic year.

We also support students taking LAMDA exams and ask families to place their exam entry at the local public centre in Manchester.

If you are currently working towards LAMDA exams and would like to join one of our groups and continue on the LAMDA pathway we can help support you with this.

Drama classes cover acting technique using scripts, improvisation, character work and devising our own scenes and monologues

Speech and Drama classes feature poetry speaking, story telling, clear communication and acting. We mostly work on scripts written by others and occasionally work on our own creations. Students attending a class of this kind can take acting as an option or can focus more on spoken word and the art of being a good communicator and story teller.

LAMDA classes are speech and drama lessons, please refer to the paragraph above. LAMDA is the name of the examination board that some of our students work with, other speech and drama students work with a syllabus from University of West London, others prefer not to follow an exam path.

Children in group classes are taught the same syllabus regardless of whether they sit a test at the end of term. No one is forced to take an exam and all children are encouraged to reach their potential regardless of whether they will be assessed by a professional body.

Yes, we offer pay as you go taster places most weeks of the term. The only exception is when we get closer to exams and performances where we may be rehearsing and unable to welcome a new student.

Solo lessons from age 4+

Group lessons from age 6, taught in age appropriate national curriculum groups.

Our Youth Theatre is our main performance group and we aim to perform twice per year. Our weekly speech, drama and communication lessons work towards an exam syllabus and have the opportunity to enter competitions and festivals during the academic year. We encourage show backs of work to families and across different teaching groups so that our young performers develop skills needed when performing live for an audience.

We are always keen to support students who have a dream to become an actor. Previous students have gone on to succeed in professional careers and have secured places on university drama courses and at drama schools.

Our school holiday and weekend courses are paused currently.

Places are offered following a successful audition, details of which can be found on our audition page.

We are a not for profit group and ask for a £30 or £45 per month (12 payments per year, cost is age dependent) contribution to rehearsal space, theatre hire, director costs and general running expenses.

Yes, our 10-12 year olds meet from 5-6pm and our members age 12+ meet from 6-8pm each Monday during term time.
