Brightlights Theatre School

General information

BrightLights Theatre School is a new, exciting school for 4-20 year olds, which opened in September 2011 in Loughborough. It is run by Nick Sutcliffe, a professional actor with 20 years experience in the West End, major regional theatres, touring productions, TV and commercials. He has also worked as a director and choreographer, recently having directed four of Shakespeares plays at The Bristol Old Vic for the BBC One Night of Shakespeare.

BrightLights is VERY much connected to the industry. Already we have two TV casting directors interested, several West End performers, TV actors, and choreographers are lined up to come and give Masterclasses in their field. In the first term we were lucky enough to have Nadine Cox (original West End cast of "Wicked", "Billy Elliot", "The Full Monty") and Carl Sanderson ("The Phantom of the Opera", "Cats", "Crazy For You", "Acorn Antiques the Musical", "Starlight Express", "The Mikado", "Hello Dolly" - all West End) as guest teachers.

The school runs every Saturday during term time, classes are from
10am - 1pm or 1.30pm - 4.30pm.

Bright Young Things, our new sessions for 4-6 year olds, is every Saturday during term time 10.15am - 11.45am, 12.15pm - 1.45pm or 2.15pm - 3.45pm. Students are grouped by age and have an hour each of drama, singing and dance tuition each week (half an hour of each for Bright Young Things).
