DEC 2022: Talented students from five London-based Stagecoach Performing Arts schools were among 15 from across the UK that took to the stunning Shaftesbury Theatre on Sunday 27th November 2022. The iconic West End venue has been home to five other successful performances by Stagecoach students earlier this year after many students missed out on performing live in 2020. The showcase provided the students with a chance to come together for another fantastic showcase, building on their creativity, courage and skills that will continue to stay with them for the rest of their lives.

Stagecoach Sidcup, Greenwich & Blackheath, Primrose Hill, Shirley and Putney were alongside various Stagecoach Performing Arts schools from across the country that travelled many miles to London to perform. The students worked incredibly hard during rehearsals, and as part of the show, they performed a variety of songs from Disney classics such as Alice in Wonderland and Frozen, to renditions of Lady Gaga, Beyonce and The Blues Brothers, among many others.

On the night, guests were able to enjoy a plethora of performances by students from all over the country, including Bridgend & Cowbridge, Leighton Buzzard, South Tyneside, Bedford, Welwyn Hatfield, Solihull, Liphook, Chertsey, Banbury, and Ashby De La Zouch.

 Stagecoach Performing Arts reported a ten per cent rise in student enrolments since 2019, and prides itself on building Creative Courage For Life® among students. The Global film entitled 'Stagecoach Performing Arts Presents' celebrating Stagecoach's students in real time was released in June 2022. Filmed with seamless bold single-take production, the film highlights what an immersive experience each element of song, dance and acting can be for all of the students at Stagecoach Performing Arts.

Stagecoach aims to make a difference in its students' lives by teaching Creative Courage for Life and many children have gone on to study and work in Performing Arts from blockbuster films to countless roles in local theatre productions.
