Our SPARKS group is a fun and nurturing introduction to musical theatre.

Through drama, song, and movement, children build confidence, creativity, and communication skills while their imagination takes centre stage in an encouraging and supportive environment.

Our SHINE group helps young performers build stronger technique and stage skills. Sessions focus on character, storytelling, and ensemble work, preparing members for progression into our senior company.

ENCORE is our advanced senior company for committed performers. Members work on high-level creative projects, developing technique, discipline, and creativity through professional workshops, visits and productions.

Our GLOW group offers a warm, nurturing and supportive environment for children with additional learning needs, who thrive in a smaller, more supported group setting.

Sessions take place in a welcoming, sensory-friendly environment, with activities thoughtfully adapted to meet individual needs and ways of learning.

Led by highly qualified specialist staff, children are encouraged to explore their creativity through drama, music, crafts and movement, developing confidence, self-expression and connections with others — all at their own pace.

STARS develops core performance skills through acting, singing, and movement.

With a focus on creativity and teamwork, children are encouraged to build confidence, explore character work, and grow as performers.

UPSTAGE is the bridge into our advanced musical theatre group.

Members develop performance skills, confidence, and creativity through more challenging musicals and collaborative ensemble work.

SPOTLIGHT is our award winning audition-only performance company for dedicated young performers. Members train and compete in acting, singing, and dance, developing advanced ensemble skills and performance technique.

Over the past two years, the SPOTLIGHT group has achieved six awards at MTI Junior Theatre Festival Europe, recognising excellence across all three disciplines.

Throughout the summer holidays, Escape runs a range of inclusive and advanced Summer Schools for children and young people of different ages and experience levels.

Each programme is built around an exciting theme, combining performing arts with creative activities and crafts in a fun, supportive environment.

Our Summer Schools culminate in an informal showcase for family and friends, giving every young person the opportunity to share what they have created and achieved.
