Stagecoach chief executive Sarah Kelly said: “This was a tremendous opportunity for students from all over the country to gain invaluable experience of treading the boards at a premier entertainment venue.

“Our students love these gala events, from performing in front of large, animated audiences to meeting students from other Stagecoach schools.

“These events give them a great sense of camaraderie, helping them to build their confidence and Creative Courage for Life. Many strong friendships are formed, and these can last a lifetime.”

Stagecoach Performing Arts is a network of more than 650 extra-curricular performing arts schools based in the UK and worldwide.
