Thank you for saving the date for our Showcase 2026 at Norden Farm, Maidenhead on Sunday 25th January 2026. This is always the highlight of our year and a wonderful way to celebrate everything our students have been learning. Families will get to see their children performing on stage in a professional working theatre – an experience they will remember for years to come. Who is this for? All students who take part in a Drama or Performers community class with us (Shinfield, Earley and Reading). The showcase fee is *£50 per child and includes: - A 10-Year Anniversary Showcase T-Shirt (to perform in and keep) - An award to celebrate each child’s achievement - Staffing and technical crew - Venue hire in a professional theatre, including microphones, lighting and sound equipment - A professionally filmed video of the show for you to keep and share with friends and family We will also have a professional photographer capturing the day. Families will have the option to purchase a photo album afterwards if they wish. *Please note: Showcase fees are non-refundable. Photo and video consent: By making payment, and agreeing to take part, you are agreeing that you are happy for photos and videos to be taken of the show. If you would rather your child not appear on social media, please indicate this on your form as usual. Two casts: This year we will be splitting the school into two casts. Each group will perform in either the matinee or the evening show. Company students will perform in both shows. We will be confirming which group your child will be in very soon and will do our best to keep any siblings together. What to wear: All students will perform in their 10-Year Anniversary Showcase T-Shirt, with black leggings/joggers and black shoes or plimsolls. We are not fully costuming the show this year. Instead, we are celebrating our 10 years together as a school with a united, professional look on stage that lets the focus shine on the children themselves. Why it matters: The Showcase is a fantastic opportunity for every child to experience performing on stage, build confidence, and celebrate their progress surrounded by friends and family. We would love to see all our students taking part and sharing in this special day. The Showcase is however optional, and students are still very welcome to attend classes even if they are not taking part. Commitment deadline: Payment and commitment must be made by half term - Friday 24th October 2025. Students who have not paid/confirmed by this date will not be included in the show planning/casting. We are so proud of everything our students achieve each week, and we cannot wait to see them shine on stage and celebrate this special milestone together.
