Studying with professionals at the top of the industry, our trips will enhance your students’ performance skills and stimulate new imaginative ways of working. We offer an amazing range of theatre workshops from Dance to Stage Combat to Musical Theatre. All our workshops are specially tailored to suit your group’s age and ability or to the show you are seeing.

In addition to attending our wonderful theatre workshops, New York, the 24 hour, full-on city has an overwhelming number of activities and sights. Be dazzled by Times Square, ascend the iconic Empire State Building and cruise across to the symbolic Statue of Liberty - and, of course, shop ‘til you drop at Macy’s and Bloomingdales.
