Stagecoach theatre arts school expanding in Carmarthen

Carmarthen’s leading theatre arts school is expanding to cope with demand.
Stagecoach Theatre Arts Carmarthen is launching a new afternoon school following the success of the morning classes.
“Demand for places at Stagecoach is huge and there is a waiting list to get places,” said Stagecoach Carmarthen principal Liane Davies.
“We put the accent firmly on quality teaching here at Stagecoach and we limit class numbers to 15 pupils per class.
“That philosophy of making sure that the quality of teaching is at the highest level does, of course, mean that we cannot always accommodate everyone.
“But we are going our best to expand our services and that is why we are going to launch afternoon classes at Stagecoach Carmarthen at the start of the new term in April.
“The classes will be for the six to 18-year-olds age group and will run from 2.30pm to 5.30pm. We already have morning classes between 10am and 1pm.
“Hopefully, this will open the door for some pupils who have other interests. For example, those who do swimming or rugby or football on a Saturday morning, will now be able to attend in the afternoon.
“The pupils play a major part in the success of Stagecoach Carmarthen and we want to do all we can to accommodate them.”
Stagecoach Theatre Arts Carmarthen has its base at the Model Church in Wales School.
The school opened in May 2009 and became an instant success. The school now attracts students from the three counties of Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion.
In recent years, Stagecoach Theatre Arts Carmarthen has staged the musicals Billy Elliot and Oliver. Pupils joining the new classes will be able to take part in the July production of Annie at the Lyric Theatre in Carmarthen.
Principal Liane added: “Our aim is always to nurture and develop four to 18-year-olds to fulfil their potential through dance, drama and singing.”
