Not only did we announce our fifth anniversary production for July 2025 but we also confirmed dates for more events and concerts (announcements coming soon!), had a confidence workshop at a new school, had an evening performance skills workshop, attended the open day at The Place and secured a sponsor for next year’s show.

Massive thanks to all our students, customers, venues, visitors and of course our amazing team!

What will this week bring?!

We are delighted to announce that our fifth anniversary production will be the children’s classic…

THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS

Performing at The Walled Garden in Hall Park, Rushden next July will be Lester Cooke, Lauren Bain, Jess Samples, Alan Galway, Ian Hammond-Stark, Alison Thomas, John Stevens and Emily Dignan with an ensemble from CAREL Academy.

We are all very excited to be bringing this story to life!

Tickets will be available in due course - stay tuned for more details!

Thank you to Rushden Town Council for their support.

Friday thoughts…

What’s the point of drama class? It teaches the workplace skills employers want, for a start Many employers want staff who can work in a team, manage complex projects and communicate well. They value problem-solving skills and adaptability. Now consider the skills taught in drama class.

We are very excited that our fifth anniversary production has been given the go ahead - official announcement to follow soon!

We are now looking for sponsors in the Rushden and Northamptonshire areas to help us fund the production! Options start at £30.

For more information, please email us at [email protected]

Thank you in advance!
