Imagine Theatre offer an advanced and intensive program for students pursuing a career in the arts. Aimed at young people who are serious about theatre and prepared to work hard.

Imagine Theatre was set up after it's artistic director had been teaching drama for ten years at one of the larger UK franchises. He found that his classes contained a lot of very talented teenagers who wanted to be professional actors but who were only able to access acting classes via musical theatre. He decided that there was a gap in the market and launched Imagine in early September 2014.

Since that time the classes have grown, Imagine has introduced innovative theatre and fun workshops to local young people across the Cotswold region. A junior class was opened in 2016 for children aged 11-14 to ensure a steady flow of local talent over the next few years. Since it's inception Imagine has staged numerous innovative productions, helped young performers get into the National Youth Theatre, get auditions with the BBC and supports a group of it's alumni who live and work in London.

Our teaching style at Imagine is child focussed, creative and fun. We believe in developing individuals and empowering them to become young professionals and our classes are therefore more of a voyage of discovery for individuals rather than a ‘we know everything and you know nothing' approach that many education establishments employ. Imagine actively work with both parents and students to help create career plans that will last well into their twenties and thirties.

Imagine is not just a school, we are a family of creatives. Our staff are committed to the development of our students into professional actors, writers, directors and theatre makers. We expect our students to work hard, to work together and to begin forging their professionalism from a young age.

We look forward to welcoming you or your child to our classes sometime soon.
