Drama | Singing | Dance | Let's Perform on Stage

It is the count down to the Sonnets 2013 Showcase's, we have 3 showcases this year on 2nd, 4th and 5th July and all classes are getting very excited about performing on stage.


Sonnets Theatre Arts School showcases give the children the opportunity to work as a team and show a performance from each of the core disciplines Drama, Singing and Dance. The children are very proud of their work and there is such a buzz backstage.

It is important to take note that we are not selective (i.e. all pupils perform, not only the strongest performers). It is about the giving every child who comes to class the experience of performing on a professional stage each year, and having the opportunity to show their mums and dads what they have been working on.

We will be filming the dress rehearsals on the last day of term, for our next lot of promo films for the website, which will be ready to view by September. Please note, Andover and Salisbury class filming will be on Saturday 6th July (after the show), as they only have 9 weeks to rehearse!!!!

Children's Drama Classes | Building Confidence and Self Esteem

An important part of growing up is being able to cope with lots of challenges. Changing schools, sports events at school, presenting to the class on 'Show and Tell' days and making new friends.  Children start to develop confidence throughout their informative years from toddler to teen.

Sonnets Theatre Arts School  |   Confidence & Life Skills

Drama Classes for children build on the development of confidence and self worth through sometimes stepping out of their comfort zones to create a 'Can Do' attitude, to take on new challenges and enhance self belief.

Stepping onto a Stage to give a performance, whether big or small can have a huge impact on a child's sense of self worth, and over the years we have seen this at Sonnets Theatre Arts School with our own eyes.  Teaching children key life skills like vocal projection, improvisation, creativity and team work in acting class, is giving children of the future transferable skills for life.

Success and confidence building in one area of your child's life, can overflow into sporting and academic achievements to landing the perfect job in the future.
